Choi Jeong-hwa – South Korea: Choi Jeong-hwa was born in Seoul, Korea, in 1961, where he still lives though maintaining a very busy international art practice. He has shown work around the world, from Sao Paolo to Shanghai, from Vienna to Bangkok, London to Tokyo, as well as in Melbourne, and at the National Gallery of Victoria in 1999 (over-life-size policemen) and Sydney Biennale in 2010 (plastic buckets at the Opera House). He makes inventive, witty, humorous installations about the nature of art that often include plastic everyday objects, placed together in a way to delight and confront viewers about what is beautiful, and what is meaningful.
