Kejoo Park (B.1956, Daejeon, Korea) lives and works in Frankfurt and New York. She earned a BFA in Painting from Cornell University, studied at Pratt Institute and The Art Students League of New York, and earned an MLA in Landscape Architecture from Harvard University. Kejoo Park, a Korean-American conceptual and multimedia artist, utilizes a wide range of media, including painting, sculpture, performance, and sitespecific installations, to explore the intricate relationships between humanity and nature. Her work emphasizes the duality of internal and external existence and the dynamic interplay between natural and artificial elements. In her large-scale public art projects, Park seamlessly integrates diverse genres such as music, poetry, and philosophy, developing a unique artistic language. Drawing on her studies in art and architecture, she expands her practice to express the embodiment of both Western and Eastern cultures.

As a landscape architect, she has collaborated with numerous architects on international competitions and projects across the globe. She also served as an Assistant Professor of Landscape Architecture and Ecology at the University of Stuttgart in Germany.
