Author Description

To coincide with the opening of Radiohalo, Michael Joo's most extensive UK exhibition to date, Blain Southern has published a monograph detailing the artist's recent and ongoing bodies of work. The publication illustrates Joo's interest in energy, transformation and perception; exploring ongoing bodies of work and the artist's major museum exhibitions at the Bronx Museum of Arts and The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum alongside his large scale installation for the Sharjah Biennale in 2015. It also features an essay by Miwon Kwon, Professor & Chair of Art History at UCLA and a conversation between Michael Joo and artist Julie Mehretu, alongside whom he exhibited at Sharjah.
