Artists: Minouk Lim in conversation with Bettina Spörr
This episode looks back at one of the central artistic positions in the group exhibition Forms of the Shadow. Minouk Lim's Currahee – Stand Alone, a floor-to-ceiling installation of painted military blankets, created a striking division of space and, in the context of the exhibition, could also be read in terms of the divided situation on the Korean peninsula, but also in the broader context of military conflicts, and as such this work is exemplary of current political crises and the latent danger of military escalation.

On the occasion of this group exhibition, a spontaneous series of conversations with the artists who attended the opening in Vienna has evolved into a podcast mini-series. This conversation took place on 19 September 2024.

The work of Minouk Lim (b. 1968, Daejeon, KR) extends personal experiences into a broader social realm, combining the intense political context of historical discontinuity and trauma with challenging yet sensory poetic narratives. Ranging from sculptures in non-fixed, fragile forms using organic materials, to video and performance that reposition fact and fiction, to multifaceted installations incorporating drawings, paintings, text, and sound, the artist’s work transcends the boundaries of genres and categories of media, reaching the point where each medium intersects and translates one another. Lim’s works engage in a “reconfiguration of the sensible” that seeks to uncover history’s hidden voices and forms. Her media is based on questions about modernity, issues of community and memory, and reflections on places concealed by time and space. Lim’s work is considered a “mediumistic media” that explores forms that revitalize endangered relationships in unfinished structures.
Since 2008, Bettina Spörr is a curator at the Secession, where she engages in close collaboration with artists to conceptualise and realise exhibitions that explore the profound impact of contemporary art on society. Throughout her career, she has worked with numerous artists on solo exhibitions and, in 2010, curated the group show where do we go from here? at the Secession.
