Dr. Young (Hyeyoung) Maeng is an artist-researcher in contemporary art. Her studio practice explores expanded painting practices, including Western and Korean painting, drawing, digital photography, and video art.
Young's art-practice-based PhD research investigates the boundaries between painting and film, reimagining the process of Korean Bunche painting as an experimental video art form known as "Documentation Art." This project also explores French philosopher Gilles Deleuze's philosophical concepts of the time image, aesthetics of sensation, and the body without organs in relation to aesthetics of Tao, and Korean true view realism. Documentation Art has garnered international recognition, being featured in prestigious art exhibitions at venues such as the Seoul Art Centre, Gallery Dos, Peter Scott Gallery, Liverpool FACT, and the Deleuze & Guattari Conference in London, Rome, Seoul, and Prague.
Currently, her research project, funded by the National Research Foundation of Korea, delves into the philosophical meaning of EDI (equity, diversity, inclusion) in human and AI companion robot interactions. Before taking on her current role as Assistant Professor of Art in Painting & Drawing, Young worked as a lecturer at Kongju National University. During her time there, she taught courses on Asian & Korean Art History and Western Aesthetics. Furthermore, she was involved in instructing Art Educational Theory and Studio Practice at Gongju National University of Education in South Korea.
