Ji Eun (Camille) Sung

I am a scholar of modern and contemporary Korean art and visual culture. My current book project examines how the new material landscape in postcolonial Korea, that is, the proliferation of everyday objects under postcolonial industrialization and mass production, enabled artistic methods and ideas to incorporate things and human bodies, envisioning distinct postcolonial subjectivity and modernity. Particularly I conceptualize artists' rendering their own bodies into objects as "the objectivation of the body." I have additional expertise in queer and feminist art practice/theory/history in East Asia and Asian American communities. I have worked as a curator and art critic in Korea, organizing many exhibitions including READ MY LIPS (with Jinshil Lee, 2017) and A Research on Feminist Art, Now (No New Work, 2017). I am currently an active member of the feminist visual art collective No New Work.
