My interests lie in exploring the new position of curator, rather than playing a conventional role of curator in making exhibitions, considering the complexity of curating itself, and inventing conceptual and physical methodology for a curator. For this, I have been attempted to newly define what the role of curator is, between the reality and ideal, by transforming the curatorial outcome to become various mediums, including the forms of research, publication, and exhibition, realising the desire of a curator as an art practitioner, through collaboration with individuals and organisations in different environments as an independent curator.

While at the RCA, I curated the exhibition DELVE (http://delve.rca.ac.uk/), which looks at how the research process is enacted through making, through social interaction and through observation, at the Acme Project Space, London, 2014, and the graduation show Black Box Formula (http://www.cca2015.rca.ac.uk/black-box-formula), which was an exhibition of new artworks reflecting on the ‘unknown’ set within an immersive gallery environment at the Royal College of Art, London, 2015.

As an activity across, inside and outside of the College, I run the project group Subjective Matters with a graphic designer, Ted Hyunhak Yoon, who is a student of Visual Communication in RCA, as well as a graphic designer, to create a proper collaborative format between design and curating, building on my previous experiment of utilising the publication, INDIVISUAL, as a curator. Additionally, as an independent curator, I organised a conceptual project with the artist Jeongbin Seo, making the exhibition, Pleasure & Balance, Chelsea College of Art, 2014.
