Welcome Febraury Artist Ellie Kyungran Heo
Ellie Kyungran Heo explores socio-ecological solidarity, conflict, and coexistence through time-based media (primarily moving image), installation, and interdisciplinary research. During her Spitsbergen Artists Center residency (supported by Arts Council England), Heo will conduct field research on the arctic tundra, arctic plants, and how local people interact with plants–indoor or, perhaps, in imaginative ways–especially in extreme weather.
