Byungseo Yoo
A long-term project will be planned during the one year residency by the artist Byungseo Yoo.
Firstly, the personal daily practice of the artist question death, fear, desires. The 'dark practice takes foam of non-materiality, such as sounds and the writings. Another artists Byungseo Yoo approach - working on the soap opera script for TV, as well as field recording project 'Music for Everyday'.
Secondly, enveloping the concept of "Food Lab" at the ZK/U Residency Kitchen in the party/gathering format. The main goal is making cooking as an art format.

Between January and May I will slowly build up a large interactive, architectural installation. Looking at the history of decorated tiles – from the Middle East to Europe and back – I will tell the story of migration, refuge and forms of colonialism but also of mutual cultural exchange. As part of my larger practice, this project will look at urban cycles of building and destruction, and the attempts of migrant communities to rebuild their homes in a new place. The interactive nature of the installation asks the viewers to experience the piece through their body, and to imagine possibilities of movement and change in seemingly immobile structures.

The Instagram Drawings series reflect on using digital platforms as ways to look back at traditional and emotionally charged processes, to portray contemporary culture. Please find attached a couple of drawings made at last years's Documenta in Kassel. I would like to propose showing 10 of these drawings, which would be uploaded to instagram to a specific account which will be accessible online and also physical samples of the drawings displayed on frames on a wall.
