Jeong-hwa Choi (b. 1961 Seoul) received a BFA from Hongik University in Seoul. He uses a wide range of media, including video screens, model plastic animals, real and fake food, lights and wires. Inspired by chaotic and teeming local open-air markets, his work observes attempts made by museums to preserve art in a world that is constantly changing and decaying. His professional career, which began in 1998 when he took part in the exhibition Seamless at the De Appel Gallery in Amsterdam, has continued to be busy. Some of his most important group exhibitions include: Slowness Speed at the National Gallery of Victory in Melbourne (1999), Let's Entertain at the Centre Pompidou in Paris (2000), Lunapark in Stuttgart (2001), Happy Together at the Kagoshima Open Air Museum (2002). He has held solo exhibitions at the 26th Sao Paulo Biennal (1998), the Yokohama Triennial (2001), the Gwangju Biennal (2001), the Lyon Biennial (2003) and the Liverpool Biennial (2004). Jeong-hwa Choi lives and works in Seoul.
