 * This German annual report (Jahresbericht in German) reviews and reports on Museums and Exhibitions of 2005 Berlin. Although it covers many different forms of art and artists, Inhwan Oh is mentioned multiple times in the section regarding the museum of East Asian art.

Song, Misook, “Inhwan Oh Playing with the language of Identity”. Chun, Young Paik. In Korean Artists Today, edited by Chun, Young Paik. Arts Council Korea, 2011.


 * This chapter is from a condensed and translated version of an originally Korean collection of 49 essays, each dedicated to a contemporary Korean artist. The publication was funded by the Arts Council Korea in 2009. The 40th chapter is titled ‘Inhwan Oh: Playing with the Language of Identity’ written by Song Misook, 송미숙. (I still need to get this book!)

Woo, Jung-Ah. “The Antimonumental Impulse in Korean Contemporary Art  Getty Research Journal'' vol 17, 2023.


 * In this peer-reviewed journal, Woo describes the anti monument as a theme of contemporary South Korean Art focusing on three artists, one of them being Inhwan Oh. The article regards artists, beginning in the 1990s, responding to Korean national identity, monuments, and patriotism with their art. Woo specifically discusses Oh in the fourth chapter, focusing on an exhibition at the Seoul Calligraphy Art Museum in 2020. The article gives a clear analysis of Inhwan’s site-specific piece titled Where He Meets Him in the particular space of Seoul and homosexuality in a traditionally Confucian society. The article references the author's first-hand experiences with Oh’s work, and a lecture he gave in 2015. It gives a sense of biographical information, including details on Oh’s ‘coming-out’ story, education, and a run-down of his work over the years as it interacts with tradition, contemporaneity, nationalism, and the anti-monument.

 * Featured on the website of the Korea Artist Prize organization is a page about Inwhan Oh, as he was a recipient in 2015. The page features a brief biography, description of his work, photo gallery of works, Oh’s CV, a 4.5 minute long filmed interview and two published critiques of his work: One titled “Others and Me: On the Impossibility of Relations and Communications” By Woo Jung-Ah, and the other “Inhwan Oh: When Attitude becomes Structure” by Jung Ah Woo. Both critiques reference anecdotal visitations to Oh’s exhibitions in 2006 and 2014, both involving performance aspects and sensually experiential pieces. The web page, of course, is depicting Inhwan in the best light possible as he was awarded through the creator’s organization. The most reliable and usable material on this webpage are the two exhibition critiques written by professors at Pohang University, South Korea.
