Vakki

Vakki is a South Korean artist who runs "Papapapa Tamguso". Based on visual art, it is exploring various media such as stereoscopic installation, spatial art, and video work. Vakki is actively showing exhibitions at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Paik Nam-joon Art Center, Daelim Museum's guseulmoa, Seoul Museum of Art, and Arco Art Theater, and many showcases, groups, and individual exhibitions have been held overseas in Berlin, Thailand, and New York. In addition, the field of visual arts is expanding by showing the writer's pleasant visual language through collaboration with cultural and artistic spaces, commercial brands, and fashion designers.

Vakki was selected for the MMCA’s 2020 artist residency program and presented works that collaborated with the Seoul Metropolitan Government. In September 2021, Vakki also collaborated with Shake Shek to introduce "Urban Playground".
