Catalogue of solo exhibition by Michael Joo at Rodin Gallery, Seoul in 2006. Michael Joo has been developing ambitious works that encompass East and West, science and art, nature and humanity into one holistic vision.

"A second-generation Korean American, Joo first began receiving critical attention in the early 1990s in the midst of the currents of multiculturalism and globalism with a body of work that approaches the cultural and racial differences he had experienced from an anaylytical and scientific attitude. In more recent years, his art has reached beyond the questions of identity and of East-and-West to expand into stories of environmental surroundings. In this new direction, he presents the problems of difference and boundary not as those of separation but as possibilities of communication, and at the same time reveals the logic of mutual circulation inherent in this question." - excerpt from foreword by Ra Hee Hong Lee, Director General of Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art.

The present catalogue features Joo's representative works from the 1990s and his most recent endeavors. With descriptions of works, artist biography and bibliography.
