1974年生于韩国,现生活工作于韩国首尔。金炳昊是一位使用金属和媒介创作雕塑和装置艺术的艺术家。他于2000年毕业于弘益大学美术学院,并于2002年开始在韩国科学技术信息部资助的国家研究实验室计划中担任研究员,研究艺术工程,为期三年,随后开始他的艺术家生涯。金炳昊的作品是使用完全分工且专业的生产系统制作的,这一系统遵循事先准备的详细蓝图,而不是像传统上那样使用粗略草图。对他来说,艺术作品与社会共识产生的产品,例如规则和制度,并无二致。

艺术家还对在社会制度中矛盾挣扎的人类个体的身份感兴趣。作为一个生活在当代、暴露于现代社会结构和环境中的人,他与机械的精致和表面美丽的艺术形式进行互动,从而展现出矛盾的批评。


Born in Korea in 1974. He now lives and works in Seoul, Korea. Kim uses metal and media to create sculptures and installations. He graduated from Hongik University College of Fine Arts in 2000 and studied Art Engineering for three years starting in 2002 as a researcher in the National Research Laboratory Program funded by the South Korean Ministry of Science and ICT before commencing his career as an artist. Kim produces his works using a fully divided and specialized production system that follows a carefully detailed blueprint prepared in advance, rather than working with rough sketches as is traditionally done. To him, a work of art is no different from products made by social consensus, such as rules and systems.

Kim is also interested in the identity of human individuals torn between the systems of society. As a person living in the contemporary age, exposed to modern social structures and environments, he engages with both mechanical exquisiteness and deceptively beautiful art forms, thus demonstrating a paradoxical critique.
