Virtual K-Artist


The Korean Cultural Center Washington, D.C. proudly presents KCCDC x Hillyer: Virtual K-Artist Talk Series, a new digital program connecting you with accomplished Korean artists from the comfort of home, through artists' weekly videos and a social media conversation with the public. Presented in collaboration with IA&A at Hillyer, each week will introduce a new artist through short-form personal videos released Fridays at 6 p.m. from May 8 to June 12, followed by a week-long virtual Q&A.

Each of the six artists, previously exhibited at the Korean Cultural Center Washington, D.C. and selected by IA&A at Hillyer, will explore their key themes, inspirations, creative process, and recent developments in their artwork. Viewers can share questions and comments with the artists directly by commenting on the Facebook event and Instagram post, and the artist will answer over the course of the week.

The program kicks off with acclaimed local artist Nara Park. For more on this artist, see below.

Nara Park

Video Release:
Friday, May 8 at 6:00 p.m.

“My work investigates our relationship to the landscape we inhabit and the imprint we leave on it when we are gone. I often use false materials such as stone-textured paint or Formica to create three-dimensional works.”

Nara Park is a sculptor and installation artist based in Washington, D.C. She is a recipient of the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities Fellowship, the Young Artist Award from the Trawick Foundation and the Hamiltonian Artists Fellowship. Her work has been on exhibit at venues including Contemporary Arts Center New Orleans, The Phillips Collection, Grounds for Sculpture, Baltimore/Washington International Airport and American University Museum at the Katzen Arts Center. Her work has been featured in Sculpture magazine, The Washington Post, and Artnet News. Her public collections include The Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C. For more information, visit the artist's website at www.naraparkstudio.com.
