In the work of Chan Sook Choi, experiments with narratology that relate to physical and spiritual migration are represented in multidisciplinary forms including exhibitions, lectures, performances, and publications. Choi confronts and assembles the different fragments that arise through migration, creating new locality and fluid topographies rather than fixed realities. She has held solo exhibitions at Art Sonje Center, Seoul (2017); and the Taipei Digital Art Center (2010). Her work has been presented at events including a National Theater of Korea national brand performance in Seoul and the festival Ars Electronica, and in settings such as the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg. She has also earned selection to the Seoul Museum of Art’s emerging artist support program (2017), and a visual art support prize from Germany’s Stiftung Kunstfond (2021). In 2021, she received the Korea Artist Prize, awarded by the MMCA and the SBS Culture Foundation.
