South Korean-born artist Young-jun Tak has been interviewed for to Be’s recent article ‘Young-jun Tak on Sameness and Difference’, by Oscar Bloomfield.
On his practice Young-jun Tak said “There is a word in Korean, ????????????????????-????????????????, which has two meanings: to refine a text and to carve and chisel something hard, such as a jewel. It is a form of proofreading, but it is as though you’re literally sculpting words and text. This verb is consistent throughout my practice—from editing to sculpture.”
