I was recently selected as the 2021 Artist-in-Residence for the Sanford Underground Research Facility.
I am very looking forward to the tours and site visits of the underground areas and facilities, because having a real underground experience in the unseen will significantly alter the work that I have been doing as virtual navigations in digital space.

“We’re proud to host Professor Leekyung Kang in our second year of the SURF AiR Program,” said Mike Headley, executive director of SURF. “We’re excited to see the works she’ll develop based on inspiration from SURF and our science.”
"A mixed media artist working primarily with painting, printmaking and sculpture, Kang’s work has been exhibited in South Korea; Doha, Qatar; and cities throughout the United States. She has participated in several residencies internationally, including the Fountainhead fellowship at Virginia Commonwealth University in Qatar and the Vermont Studio Center. When Kang saw the SURF AiR call for artists, it seemed like the perfect next step."
