Jung Youngsun: For All That Breathes On Earth

Jung Youngsun: For All That Breathes On Earth explores half a century of practice by Jung Youngsun (b. 1941), Korea’s first licensed female landscape architect, who has worked on major public and private projects to date; Olympic Village Apartments (1988), Daejeon Expo '93 (1993,1999), Yeouiudo Saetgang Ecological Park (1997,2008), Heewon (1997), and Seonyudo Park (2002), among many others. The exhibition seeks to shed light on how Jung has been paving the way for designing the environments for more-than-human habitats in the cities and our land at large. Highlighting the artistic and scientific caliber of landscape designer, the exhibition showcases her landscape design as a means of responding to the ecological order inherent to the nature, while creating the art of social and scientific complexities. Alongside more than eighty representative works and their archival materials such as sketches, drawings and models, the exhibition will present newly commissioned gardens where the audience can experience the art of Jung’s landscape first-hand.
