Ik-Joong Kang received his MFA from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. Kang has exhibited widely. To mention only a few out of his numerous exhibitions, Kang exhibited 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 Amerian Art at Champion, Connecticut; a group exhibition at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. In the spring of 1997, he was awarded The Special Merit prize in the 47th Venice Biennale.
In December 1999, Ik-Joong Kang worked with 50,000 children from South Korea in creating 100,000 Dreams. This project featured a 1km-long, vinyl tunnel-inside which all of the childrenĄ¯s works were displayed. Though North Korean children did not participate as planned, this project manifested itself on a wider level. Amazed World aims to involve children from a diverse collection of cultures, religions and political beliefs.
