On view February 21 – May 4, 2025 at the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, Suki Seokyeong Kang: Mountain—Hour—Face presents Kang’s largest exhibition in the United States to date. The exhibition is co-curated by Ellen Bruss Chief Curator, Miranda Lash, and Associate Curator, Leilani Lynch, and features a wide array of over 70 artworks the artist has developed over the past several years.
Showcasing Kang’s deft use of materials—from traditionally woven grass mats, dyed wool, and mulberry paper, to industrial materials like steel and brass—to create wondrous and spiritual objects and installations, the exhibition brings the artist’s vision of the landscape into three dimensions. Sculptures, wall-based works, textiles, installations, and video will occupy the entirety of MCA Denver’s building and highlight her singular approach to engaging with these materials.
Kang’s practice is deeply connected with the natural world and our historical relationship to the landscape. Colorado’s abundance of rich natural resources, including our majestic mountains, essential water sources and expansive plains, present a fitting setting for Kang’s exhibition.
