Born in Seoul, Young In Hong lives and works in Bristol. Her multidisciplinary practice spans drawing, sculpture, installation, sound, textile and performance. Her practice often engages with undervalued cultural traditions, exploring modes of equality through particular approaches to artmaking that gently unsettle the long-standing hierarchies embedded in human history. In recent years, Hong has increasingly examined notions of inter-species communication, symbolism and the hybridity of sound, movement and objects.
Hong’s recent solo exhibitions have been held at Art Sonje Center, Seoul (2025); Spike Island, Bristol (2024); Kunsthal Extra City, Antwerp (2023); Exeter Phoenix (2018); the Korean Cultural Centre, London (2017); and the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London (2015). Her performances have been presented at the Seoul Museum of Art (2022); the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul (2019); Arnolfini, Bristol (2019); Spike Island, Bristol (2017); Block Universe, London (2017); and the 10th Gwangju Biennale (2014). In 2019, Hong was shortlisted for the Korea Artist Prize.
