Sunyoung Kim — Unraveling women’s stories on the page: The advent of women’s magazines in the 1960s in S. Korea (Cycle 2)

Cycle 2

Since 2010, Sunyoung Kim has been working for the Museum of Photography, Seoul (MoPS) as curator in charge of exhibition projects and international relations. She has worked with photographic artists from various nationalities and generations for exhibition projects. Recent exhibitions include The Centennial of Korean art photography 1920-2020 (2023, 2020); Michael Lundgren: Geomancy (2021); Brassaï, Koudelka, Giacomelli: Romantic Melancholy (2019; co-curator); Nature as a Playground: Korean and Nordic Contemporary Photography (2018; co-curator); and a series of exhibitions of emerging Korean artists. She also leads the program MoPS Talent Portfolio, which has partnered with FotoFest since 2019 by sending talented Korean photographers to the Meeting Place. This open call program serves to invigorate diverse modes of collaborations between young generations of artists and the museum.


Kim is particularly enthusiastic about contemporary mixed media photographic work, as her research interests currently focus on medium specificity and its latent influence on contemporary photographic practices in post-medium conditions.
