Kim Woojin received her Master's degree in Fine Art from Goldsmiths, University of London, and a Doctoral degree in Western painting from Ewha Womans University. Departing from the question she explores as an observer of a particular society, the artist pursues dispositif to initiate an unnoticed frame that secretly works on an individual. She held several solo shows such as The Freezing Point, The Evaporation Point (Kimjongyung Museum, Seoul, 2022), You will have to follow the directions you hear (Alternative Space Loop, Seoul, 2019), Brave New Exercise: Memorized Movements (Tokyo Art and Space Hongo, Tokyo, 2017).
   She participated in many group exhibitions such as Language the between (Kimhongdo Museum, Ansan, 2022), The 21st SONGEUN Art Award (SONGEUN, Seoul, 2021), Surim Art Award (Kimheesoo Art Center, Seoul, 2021), The Future of Silence: When your tongue vanishes (Nam Jun Paik Art Center, Yongin, 2019), Kotodama (Para-Site, Hong Kong, 2018). She was selected to many grant programs such as art grant from Gyeonggi Cultural Foundation, 2022, art grant from Seoul Foundation of Art and Culture, 2019. As well as she participated in many residency programs internationally, such as Incheon Art Platform (Incheon, 2022), Bamboo Curtain Studio (Taipei,2016) and MMCA Goyang residency (Goyang, 2014).
