Imagining New Eurasia
Kyong Park is professor of Public Culture at University of California at San Diego where he has taught since 2007.
Park views art as a process of inquiry, examination and articulation of cultures, and a visual language of communication rather than a commodity of productions. The Imaging New Eurasia project imagines new relations between East and West, and a renewed identity of Eurasia.
Park is active in a wide range of works on public culture, including research, documentation, and representations focused on the urban landscapes that delineate the economic, political, and cultural borders and territories of the contemporary social geography.
Working in visual arts, architecture, theory, and curatorial practices, Park incorporates text, photography, video, installation and new media into his works, a practice that is rooted in research, participation, and activism in public spaces.
His first project was the founding of StoreFront for Art and Architecture in New York, an internationally respected exhibition space that he directed from 1982-1998. He then founded International Center for Urban Ecology in Detroit, producing workshops, urban initiatives and videos, in collaboration with activists, community organizations, and universities.
