Liminal Figures brings together fifteen diasporic korean artists and collectives who work across cultural, geographic, and linguistic contexts. It contrains in-depth interviews with Jesse Chun, Johanna Hedva, Skye Jin, Lotus L. Kang, Cindy Ji Hye Kim, YoungEun Kim, Heesoo Kwon, Hyeok Lee, Jeewi Lee, Maia Ruth Lee, Na Mira, and others. Liminality here is not a state to be described, but a mode of working—one that holds open the possibility of thinking, sensing, and relating otherwise. This publication functions as a reference point at the intersection of contemporary art and diaspora discourse—both within the art world and in the broader publishing landscape. In the artists’ respective practices, language appears as contested terrain, material as something that shifts and degrades, and institutions as frameworks that organize and constrain visibility and knowledge. Other practices extend toward speculative or cosmological registers that displace human-centered perspectives, or work through sound, narrative, and text as fluid structures for thinking through displacement and history. Co-published by GYOPO and The Floorplan, the book examines how a generation of artists born in the 1980s and 1990s works within conditions of movement, translation, and multiple forms of belonging.
