Toward Those That Are Pushed Away and Leaking Out: The Work of Chan Sook Choi

Pushed Away and Leaking Out presents the creative work of Chan Sook Choi, an artist who has adopted different media to examine issues of land, bodies, and migration. Based on the explorations of supervising researcher Hye Ok Cho, it shares Choi’s earliest to most recent work in project units, compiling research and text to support a deeper understanding of the artist’s creations. Archival materials, which are produced through the artistic research that serves as Choi’s creative methodology, show the intense reflection and contemplation that go into the emergence of a given work. Over its extensive 457-page length, the book invites the reader not only into Chan Sook Choi’s artistic world but also into her artistic research process.

출판사 서평

The content flows from recent projects to past works in the later chapters. Writings on performance and artistic research are included towards the end, along with separate sections on media facade works produced based on her artistic research. The contributors include one Korean chief researcher, four Korean writers, and four international writers, maintaining a balance between Korea and international perspectives.
The interview at the end aims to provide insights into the artist's ongoing projects. Most contributors hold official degrees, emphasizing the credibility and precision of the
research. The chief researcher played a crucial role in selecting and structuring the articles. The book includes writings on the works and an artist research article, providing
a framework for readers to understand the artist’s artistic world. A single article focused on archive materials is included to justify the presence of archives in the book, aligning with the archival pieces resulting from the research process.
The significance of this book lies in consolidating scattered information about the artist's works. While the planning and editing direction may not be explicitly defined, the effort is concentrated on establishing a foundation for multi-faceted approaches to the artist's works in the future. Rather than a comprehensive retrospective, the book aims to serve as a folded corner indicating the reader has reached this point. Despite limitations in budget and schedule, it attempts to delve deeper into the artist's extensive body of work.
Encountering the artist's earlier works prompts a reconsideration of why an artist like her engages in the creation of art. It may take a year, ten years, or even a century for an artist and works to resonate with people.
Nonetheless, inviting the audience into the artwork is deemed crucial. With this book as a foundation, opportunities are hoped to unfold for more in-depth research into Chan Sook Choi's artistic world.
