Born in 1960, in Cheong Ju and raised in Seoul, Korea, Ik-Joong Kang has lived and worked in New York City since 1984. He received his MFA from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York and a BFA from Hong-Ik University in Seoul, Korea.

The artist is internationally recognized for creating major public art works using multiple 3 x 3 inch canvases to spotlight the plight of people and societies around the world. December 1999, Ik-Joong Kang worked with 50,000 children from South Korea in creating 100,000 Dreams. This project featured a one kilometer-long, vinyl tunnel-inside which all of the children's works were displayed. Though North Korean children did not participate as planned, this project has since manifested itself on a wider level.

In 2001, Kang completed the project ‘Amazed World’ commissioned by the Republic of Korea in association with UNICEF. Approximately 40,000 works by children from 150 countries and a diverse range of cultures, religions and political beliefs were displayed in a giant maze installation in the lobby of the United Nations building in New York. In 2013 the artist built a 175-meter-long covered bridge, ‘The Bridge of Dreams’, in Suncheon, Korea, containing 120,000 drawings by children from around the world. Last year alone the ‘Bridge of Dreams’ drew more than 5 million visitors. Kang has installed children's drawings at many hospitals and public places around the world including Cincinnati Children’s Hospital (Ohio USA 2006), Zaitun Library (Erbil Iraq 2008) and Asan Medical Center (Seoul, Korea in 2010).

Floating Dreams in London 2016 is the latest in a body of works, situated in the center of the River Thames by the Millennium Bridge in London, that spotlight the suffering of displaced people and communities in war torn locations across the world. It was constructed from 500 miniature drawings and illuminated from within, the three- story-high lantern structure acts as a memorial to the millions displaced and divided during the Korean War (1950-53), and a poignant symbol of hope for the reunification of North and South Korea. The installation is commissioned and presented by Totally Thames. Ik-Joong Kang commented “River is alive. It talks, breathe and thinks. I know Thames does same thing. And it can also connect and embrace us.

His next project is making a one-mile-long circular shape bridge over the Imjin River that separates North and South Korea. Kang says, ‘The children’s dreams fill the inside of the bridge and anyone who walks on this bridge will be sent to the future without even having to buy a ticket’.

Kang has exhibited widely, including a solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art at Philip Morris, New York in 1996; a two-person show with Nam June Paik at the Whitney Museum of American Art at Champion, Connecticut; and group exhibitions at the Metropolitan Museum of Arts, the British Museum, the Guggenheim Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, the Ludwig Museum in Germany, and the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Korea. In 1997, he was awarded The Special Merit prize in the 47th Venice Biennale and in 2014 Kang was among the artists featured in the Korea pavilion that received the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Architecture Biennale.

Kang has received many awards and fellowships, including a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Fellowship, a Joan Mitchell Foundation Fellowship. His works in the collection of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the Detroit Institute of Arts in Detroit, the British Museum in UK, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Ludwig Museum in Germany, the Samsung Art Museum, and the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Korea.

1960년 충청북도 청주에서 출생. 1984년 홍익대학교 서양화과를 졸업하고 뉴욕으로 건너가 1987년 미국 프랫인스티튜드를 졸업하였다. 그 후 뉴욕에서 본격적인 작업을 시작하면서 국제무대에서 한국인의 이름을 알리는 미술가로 손꼽히고 있다.

1984년 유학 첫해 그의 뉴욕생활은 하루 12시간의 점원일과 잡역이었다. 그림 그릴 시간이 없던 그는 주머니 속에 작은 캔버스를 만들어 넣고, 오가는 지하철 안에서 작업을 한다. 이것이 지금 그를 있게 한 3인치 작품의 시작이다. 객차안의 군상들, 일상의 단편, 영어단어암기 등 작은 캔버스 안에는 그의 하루가 문자나 기호, 그림으로 기록되었다. 그리고 이런 다양한 이미지들은 모두가 융합되어 강익중 ‘나’로 표현된다. 동양과 서양. 선함과 악함, 얻음과 잃음 기쁨과 슬픔 등이 커다란 줄기를 이루며 나타난다. 동양문화와 서양문화와의 융합과 포용을 나타내던 그의 작품은 더 강렬해진 언조로 세계의 평화와 한국의 통일을 이야기 한다.

미국의 젊은 기대주들을 선발해 전시하는 <라우더>전에 초대되었고 1994년 휘트니미술관에서 백남준과 〈멀티플 다이얼로그〉전을 열었다. 1997년 베네치아비엔날레에 한국대표로 참가하여 특별상을 수상하였고 2001년 UN본부에서 ‘AmazedWorld’ 전시를 가졌고 2005년 알리센터에 ‘희망과 꿈’을 설치하였다.

주요 작품으로는 《오페라를 부르시는 부처》《영어를 배우자》《한자를 배우자》《사운드

페인팅》《금동미륵반가사유상》《꿈의 달》 등의 작품이 있고, 로스앤젤레스현대미술관과

휘트니미술관 등에 작품이 소장되어 있다.

공공미술작품으로 국외에 샌프란시스코 국제공항청사 메인홀의 벽화와 뉴욕 지하철역의 환경조형물, 뉴욕 기차역 플랫폼 천장에 설치작품, 프린스턴 대학 도서관 로비 벽화 ‘해피월드’ 등이 있고 국내에는 광화문 복원현장에 있는 ‘광화에 뜬 달: 산, 바람’, 전국 5만 어린이들의 꿈을 모아 만든 경기도미술관의 ‘희망의 벽’ 3*3인치 작품 6만여점이 전시한 과천국립현대미술관의 ‘삼라만상 : 멀티플 다이얼로그∞’, 2010 상하이 Expo 한국관의 외관을 42000점의 한글작품으로 덮은 '내가 아는 것', 2013 순천국제 정원박람회장 ‘꿈의 다리’ 2016 오두산 통일전망대 <그리운 내고향>과 <아리랑>, 2016 런던 템즈 페스티벌의 메인 작품인 <Floating Dreams, 집으로 가는 길> 그리고 2018년 순천시민 6만5천여명과 함께 만든 <현충정원>등이 있다.

그의 꿈은 남과 북을 잇는 <꿈의 다리> 프로젝트를 완성하는 것이다. 남북한을 갈라놓은 임진강위에 어린이들의 꿈이 담긴 200만장으로 내부를 꾸미고 남북이 함께 부르는 노랫말로 외벽을 장식한 원형모양의 미술관을 만드는 것이다. 작가는 “꿈의 다리를 걸으면서 ‘이 다리를 건너서 북녘땅까지 마음껏 가고 싶다’고 염원하는 사람이 많아지면 통일이 더 빨리 올 것”이라고 말한다.
