ArtReview Podcast: Hyeree Ro on Korean Pavilion at 61st Venice Biennale
Artist Hyeree Ro discusses gardens, maintaining friendships as artists, and exhibiting at the Korean pavilion for the 61st Venice Biennale in the sixth episode of the ArtReview Podcast. Ro, who lives between Seoul and Brooklyn, works in sculpture, video, and performance, interrogating spaces between bodies, language, and objects. She was selected to represent the Korea Pavilion at the Biennale opening next month. The podcast, hosted by Chiara Wilkinson and produced by Jenny Wu, features Ro's work 'Niro' (2024), a skeletal car-shaped installation modeled after her late father's car, exploring their burdened relationship. Also mentioned are the Small-scale Joseon period Soswaewon garden in Damyang County, South Korea, created between 1520 and 1530, and Hua Hsu's memoir 'Stay True' (2022), about a college friend killed in a carjacking in 1998. The podcast is available on Spotify and YouTube.
