# Kim Minwook: *On Carving, Bending, and Binding Wood*

Jul 30, 2026 – Mar 29, 2027 · on view · Koret Korean Galleries

Carved, bent and bound wood sculpture by a self-taught Korean woodturner, in his first solo museum exhibition.

Kim (born 1978) took up woodturning in 2013 and works with timber already marked by weather and age, following its grain and tension and letting cracks, knots and scars shape each piece. He won the 2019 Lexus Creative Masters Award in Seoul and was shortlisted for the 2022 Loewe Foundation Craft Prize.
