Seoul-based artist Inhwan Oh will speak about his conceptual artworks and participatory practices in relation to the margins of visibility and queer spaces where different communities can come into being and flourish. Drawing upon his own experiences as a gay man living in South Korea, Oh’s process-driven work translates and deconstructs the relationship between individual identity and collectivity within patriarchal societies, as well as the cultural codes shaped therein.

Oh’s artist lecture will take place at The Reef in downtown Los Angeles in conjunction with his upcoming two-part exhibition My Own Blind Spots, held at Commonwealth & Council and Baik Art. My Own Blind Spots couples video surveillance with a meditation on the order of seeing and being seen to reveal processes of social and cultural subversion.
