Soojin Kang

Based in Germany

Soojin Kang’s practice explores the sculptural potential of woven materials. Using natural dyes and hand-spun yarns, Kang experiments with the evocative power of fibres. Her practice explores the interplay between softness and rigidity, combining textile and concrete to create sculptures that blur the boundaries between the organic and the industrial, juxtaposing the warmth of handmade materials with the weight of architectural permanence. Kang received her MA in Textiles from Central Saint Martins in 2009. In 2017, Kang’s work Fall was acquired by the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, for the museum’s permanent collection. Her first solo exhibition was staged at UNIT 9 in 2017; more recent solo exhibitions include sometimes I think my head is so big because it is so full of dreams , Galerie Kandlhofer, Vienna (2025), Forgive yourself for everything , Galerie Khoshbakht (2024), To Be You, Whoever You Are , Gathering, London (2023); Landscape , Ben Hunter, London (2022); jevouspropose, Zurich (2022) and Between the Lines , Movement Lab, Busan (2019). Kang’s recent group exhibitions include Prophetic Dreams , Kutlesa Gallery (2024), KREATUR , Reiter Galleries, Berlin (2022); Porosity , 021 Gallery, Daegu (2021); Weave , Spinalto, Mainleus (2020), and CROP , Sarah Myerscough Gallery (2019).
