Biography

Moon has shown his art in numerous exhibitions in this country and abroad, and published his essays in a range of publications. He is a recipient of Guggenheim Fellowship in 2014. Active also as critic, Moon has published a bilingual Korean-English catalogue for his curatorial project “Incongruent: Contemporary Art from South Korea.” Moon has contributed scholarly essays to Rethinking Marxism, BOL, and Contemporary Art in Asia: A Critical Reader (MIT). He has guest-edited the special issue on the after effects of war in Asia for the online peer reviewed journal Trans Asia Photography Review.
