Eugene Eo

Through the material autonomy of water and earth, cosmic dynamics, and mythological imagery, I present invisible networks of relations at the level of sensory experience. Rooted in sculpture and installation, I transform exhibitions into spatial-discursive laboratories that invite audiences to re-encounter the conditions of 'sensation-being-ecology.'

Beginning as an installation artist with a background in sculpture, I spent six years as an institutional curator, participating in diverse projects across commercial and non-commercial boundaries. Currently, I am engaged in criticism, installation, art consulting within venues, and collaborative projects.

My research-driven practice since going independent traverses the boundaries of commercial/non-commercial, art/science, and human/non-human, performing world-building (Donna Haraway) through exhibition curation, critical writing, workshops, and collaborative programs. By combining 'mediation' strategies that let materials speak for themselves with defamiliarization devices, audiences simultaneously experience the soil beneath their feet, flowing water, and the voices of coexisting species, sensorially exploring ontological questions surrounding life, death, and becoming.

Recently, I have been exploring Donna Haraway's concept of 'becoming-with' under the theme of 'Yeomwon,' with a three-person group exhibition planned for October 2026 at Shinhan Gallery Yeoksam.
