grru collective


about


그루(grru)는 예술, 건축, 교육 분야에서 비판적이고 협력적인 접근 방식을 지향하는 실험적인 그룹으로, 서울과 베를린에서 활동하며 프로젝트를 실행하고 있다. 김민경, 판차티모, 황아일로 구성된 이 그룹은 끊임없이 변화하는 사회 및 공간을 여러 가지 방식으로 탐구하며 기존의 구조에 의문을 제기하고 현재의 상황을 미학적이고 담론적으로 화두화 하는데 중점을 둔다. 그들의 작품은 열린 과정 및 다양한 문화와 관점을 수용한다.

ail hwang
based in seoul and germany, ail works on everyday spaces, objects, and relationships by altering or rearranging them to reveal their multi-layered meanings. through installations using fluid materials like latex paint and window film, she blurs the boundaries between artwork and daily life, architecture and art, interior and exterior. her practice challenges conventions that favor sameness and seeks to break free from fixed perspectives, both in personal projects and collaborations with grru.

timo panzer
based in berlin, timo is a licensed architect and artist exploring the relationships between humans, nature, animals, and society within the built environment. focusing on adaptive reuse and installations, he operates at the intersection of art and architecture. his work combines theory and practice to drive transformations benefiting both people and the natural world.

min kyung kim
min kyung examines social phenomena and power structures that shape behavior and perception. her work focuses on socio-cultural constructs such as norms, rules, conventions, gender, and class across cultural contexts. through exhibitions, research, curatorial projects, and workshops, she critically explores the interplay of social myths, prejudice, and discrimination inside and outside the art world. using experimental interventions with video, installation, performance, and photography, she makes these constructs tangible and open to question. at the center of her practice lies the exploration of what it means to be human within systems.
