Koo Jeong A: Constellation Congress

Koo Jeong A's work is seemingly casual and commonplace, yet these characteristics belie its remarkable precision and deliberation. Her reflections on the senses incorporate objects, still and moving images, audio elements, and aromas within site-specific environments that question the limits of fact and fiction.

Constellation Congress is Koo Jeong A's most ambitious exhibition to date in the United States. The Hispanic Society installation, which closes June 26, includes all new works that actively engage the senses. It is her first large-scale installation in New York City.

Constellation Congress can also been seen at The Dan Flavin Art Institute for which Koo Jeong A created a new series of ink drawings on photographic paper.
