NAKION
b. 1976, born and based in Seoul,
Korea. www.nakion.com
NAKION,
an underground club DJ and graphic designer,
is an iconic artist of Korean underground
street culture. Her drawings, in a quick
glance, reminding us of graffiti, are delineated
in quick and harsh brushstrokes.
She
gushes forth raw emotion and sentiments
of Korean underground street culture in
a direct way, but the result ironically
resembles Korean traditional ink painting,
Sumook, and calligraphy. The drawings, reflecting
the rhythm and beat of the underground music
and the performance of club DJing, portray
dreams and conflicts of today’s youth culture.
Musically she continues to produce electronic
music including an album malnutrition(non-commercial
release, 2002) and remixes and has participated
in various shows and festival. Nakion will
dj at the celebrating party of Korean pavilion
in this Biennale.
