BB&M is pleased to announce that Young-jun Tak has joined the gallery.
Born in 1989 in Seoul and now based in Berlin, Young-jun Tak examines sociocultural and psychological mechanisms that shape belief systems. In his sculptures, installations and films, Tak often exposes human bodies in the context of polarizing conventions and dissolves fossilized aesthetics found, for example, in religious icons, propaganda tools, and gender symbols.
In 2023 Young-jun Tak had solo exhibitions at Atelier Hermès (Seoul), Julia Stoschek Foundation (Berlin and Düsseldorf), palace enterprise (Copenhagen), Wanås Konst (Knislinge, Sweden), and O—Overgaden (Copenhagen). He has participated in international exhibitions at the High Line (New York, 2023), Chicago Architecture Biennial (2023), Lyon Biennale (2022), KINDL Center for Contemporary Art (Berlin, 2022), Berlin Biennale (2020), and Istanbul Biennial (2017).
