Chunwoo Nam’s new installation, Their Globalization, speaks to the human consequences of our global economy. Nam is recognized internationally as an artist, teacher, and master printer. For Nam the complex and tedious printmaking processes provide crucial time for reflection and experimentation to achieve expressiveness. Mindful of the toxicity of the chemical processes, he has experimented with and provided demonstrations of the benefits of etching with a non-toxic copper sulfate. He has recently created alternative ways for presenting printed art within installations, which now includes performance.
