Francesca - this is very promising! But I think you're missing the key source written by Jung-Ah Woo. You could also add even more with the information from this article alone. I know that you have not been able to devote your full attention to this because of SPROJ. I'm happy to help to make sure that you complete this assignment successfully (now that SPROJ is done...or very soon!)

Because my friend just started to work in the same dept his photo has been popping up on my IG timeline!

Also not to put pressure on you...but I told Jung-Ah Woo about the Wikipedia page...so he might know about this now!

Inhwan Oh (오인환, 1965-) is a contemporary artist born in Seoul, Korea, where he currently lives and works. He attended Seoul National University and the City College of New York. His work, often site specific, utilizes his own identity as a gay Korean man to explore the issues of? identity, community, and patriarchy. His work has been shown at exhibitions around the world in the last 20 years but are most often seen in South Korea and the United States. (<- if the lead feels too long I suggest taking out this sentence) He currently works as an artist (wonder if this could be cut, since it's pretty obvious that he currently works as an artist) and teaches and serves? as the department chair of the WHICH DEPARTMENT? Seoul National University College of Fine Arts.

Education
Oh got (received - avoid colloquial) his BFA and MFA from the College of Fine Arts at Seoul National University, then went on to get (again, receive? obtain? use formal language please!) a second MFA from CUNY (City University of New York), specifically Hunter College in the 1990s. (*can we find out an actual year...? And can we simply say CUNY Hunter College?)

*Common error - you do NOT need an apostrophe here!

Career
Oh was awarded the Korea Artist Prize in 2015 for his solo exhibition called "Looking Out for Blind Spots". The annual prize is co-organized by the SBS Foundation and the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (Korea) to sponsor contemporary Korean artists with the potential to advance contemporary Korean art on a global scale.

Oh participated in an artist residency from September to August of 2019 at 18th Street Arts Center in Southern California.

=== '''Major Works - seems to need more citations especially from Jung-Ah Woo's article assigned for our class. I'm surprised to see it missing in the draft as she is pretty much the only person writing about him in English!''' ===

*Also, formatting - please make sure that the citation notes are at the END of the sentence - that includes the period mark!!


 * Oh's 2009 "The Flag and I" is a shaky video clip of a large Korean flag and flagpole, presumably being held up by someone. As the video continues, more and more of a guttural moaning becomes audible from whoever is working to hold up the large flagpole. Their struggle in physicalized patriotism sounds almost sexual to viewers who cannot see the person holding up the flag. The work discusses nationalism, masculinity, and anonymity in the context of South Korea.
 * Oh won the 2015 Korea Artist Prize with his exhibition titled (clarify- did he win "with" this exhibition or was it created for the Korea Artist Prize?) Looking Out for Blind Spots (take quotation out), which took many different phases throughout 2014 and 2015, with an emphasis on those who live within the cultural blind spots of society. It was first exhibited in Seoul, and then at two different venues in Los Angeles for his US solo debut . The show involved CCTV footage, Blind gallery docents giving tours of the spaces, and recorded interviews of discharged Korean soldiers, all of which emphasized diverse identities and phenomenon left out of common perspectives, or rather, those who occupy blind spots in society.
 * "Where He Meets Him" is a site-specific piece that Inhwan Oh recreates at his multiple exhibitions around the world. Each piece differs depending on the city in which it is exhibited, as Oh writes the names of the gay bars and clubs of the city in incense on the floor of the exhibition. The incense burns throughout the showing, and guests may or may not know what they are looking at depending on their own sexual identity. It is a play on the underground nature of queerness in most communities, where one can be 'in the know', or not.
