"Wook-kyung Choi, Alice's Cat is a retrospective exhibition that aims to shed new light on Choi's overall artistic vision and provide a comprehensive review of a wide range of her work and career as an artist, art educator, and poet. The exhibition seeks to reinterpret Choi's oeuvre by focusing on the multilayered links between her art and literature, exemplified by her volumes of poetry and her interest in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Despite being active in both Korea and the US as a painter, educator, and poet, Choi has been largely considered "an American-style artist highly influenced by abstract expressionism" or "a tragic woman artist who died tragically young." Wook-kyung Choi, Alice's Cat intends to examine the significance of her works in the context of Korean contemporary art by regarding them through the lens of their relationships with contemporary art and literature from various angles. At the same time, the exhibition will highlight both the active life of Choi, who never ceased to explore new worlds while moving between Korea and the US. Moreover, it will invite viewers to understand the contemporaneity of Choi's active life and creations as she ceaselessly explored new worlds in Korea and the U.S., similar to Alice as she embarked on an adventure into Wonderland out of pure curiosity"-- Exhibition website.
