Min Oh

Min Oh is an artist working across performance, moving image and installation, whose practice critically examines the structural and political conditions of time-based media. With a background in classical piano and graphic design, she brings formal precision and an acute sensitivity to rhythm, notation and temporality into her compositions. Her works construct provisional systems that blur the boundaries between genre and medium, operating as metacritical frameworks through which the hierarchies of cultural production are scrutinised. Through layered choreographies of sound, image and gesture, Oh explores how aesthetic conventions encode ideology, and how performance might reconfigure them.

Recent presentations include the solo exhibition Conversation Dance and performance at De Appel (Amsterdam), and the forthcoming exhibition Simultaneity, Performance at Seoul Museum of Art (SeMA). Previous solo shows include If I Ought to Sing I Will Not Be Part of Your Revolution at Ilmin Museum of Art (Seoul), and Notations at Doosan Gallery (New York). Her work has also featured in institutional exhibitions at MMCA Korea, M+ (Hong Kong), and the Daegu Art Museum, and is held in collections including MMCA, SeMA and the Leeum Samsung Museum.

Oh has received numerous accolades, including shortlisting for the Korea Artist Prize, the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès Art Prize, and the Doosan Artist Award. She has undertaken residencies at the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten (Amsterdam), Cité Internationale des Arts (Paris), and Doosan Residency (New York). Her editorial work, including the Music Score series and Post-Texture, runs parallel to her studio practice, expanding her enquiry through writing, design and publishing.
