---

Nam June Paik Art Center (NJPAC) is delighted to announce the appointment of Dr. Seong Eun Kim as its new director. With her commitment to practice-based research on art museums, Kim will lead NJPAC in a museologically holistic way. Having obtained a D.Phil. in anthropology from the University of Oxford in 2009 for her thesis on contemporary artists’ interventions in museums, Kim worked at NJPAC from 2011 to 2014, and afterward at Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art until 2019. As NJPAC’s new director, Kim plans to concentrate on: programming to facilitate art historical and transdisciplinary research on Paik and media art and to interrelate it to overall museum practices; exhibition experiments in terms of connecting the curatorial to the idea of commons and thus transforming the museum as a place for public assembly; local and international collaboration with museums, universities and companies on artist commissions, exhibitions, symposiums, and publications; digital platform design to make NJPAC’s contents more accessible online; and audience development, particularly those in the field of technological industries. Kim has assumed her role at NJPAC in late September 2019.
