Working in video, performance, code, and weaving, Bang Geul Han’s art practice uses text as a site of disclosure and declaration that blurs and complicates the distinction between public and private. Whether in the form of virtual reality or experimental textiles, her works function as alternative archives that highlight both the systemic limitations and the subversive potential of language and technology.
Han’s work has been shown in venues including The Bronx Museum of the Arts, Queens Museum, NURTUREart, A.I.R. Gallery, The 8th Floor at The Shelley and Donald Rubin Foundation, Smack Mellon in New York City, Pérez Art Museum in Miami, and Centro Internazionale per l’Arte Contemporanea in Rome. She is a recipient of the Creative Capital Award, Artist in the Marketplace program at the Bronx Museum of the Arts, A.I.R. Fellowship, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s Workspace program, MacDowell Fellowship, and Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Han received her MFA in Electronic Integrated Arts from NYSCC at Alfred University in Alfred, NY, and her BFA in Painting from Seoul National University in Korea.
