Soyoung Chung lives and works in Seoul. Her work pushes the boundaries of sculpture through experimentation with various mediums, including installation, sculpture, video, and public art interventions. Rooted in a geological perspective, she explores the layers of temporality that encompass the various dimensions of time present in places and materials. Her works trace complex interplays and boundaries between histories, time, and spaces, connecting them to the concept of societal uncertainty. Chung has held solo exhibitions at several institutions and galleries including ONE AND J. Gallery, Seoul (2021); Art Sonje Center, Seoul (2016); D Project Space, Seoul (2013); and OCI Museum, Seoul (2011). She participated in group exhibitions in Korea and abroad in institutions such as the Royal Academy of Arts, London (2020); Nottingham New Art Exchange, Nottingham (2017); SongEun Art Space, Seoul (2016); Amore Pacific Museum, Seoul (2016); Seoul Museum of Art (2015); and Ilmin Museum of Art, Seoul (2012). She participated in residency programs including MMCA Changdong (2021), Delfina Foundation Residency Program (2017), Berlin ZK/U (2017), and SeMA Nanji Residency (2012). In 2016, she was awarded the SongEun Art Award Excellence Prize.
