金允信
Kim Yun Shin
金允信（1935 年生于元山）是一位跨媒介艺术家，现生活和工作于韩国坡州。她以充满动感的雕塑与绘画创作著称，这些作品往往通过与自然的持续互动而展开。成长于 20 世纪韩国动荡的历史背景之中，金允信克服了彼时社会规范的种种限制，作为韩国第一代女性雕塑家之一，在战后韩国艺术界确立了开创性的地位。面对由男性主导的艺术环境，她仍毅然前往巴黎追寻艺术理想，先后任教于多所大学，并于 1974 年共同创立韩国女性雕塑家协会，以支持新一代艺术家的成长。或许受到早年漂泊经历的影响，她的创作始终保持着对离散文化的无畏探索。从法国、墨西哥与巴西，到后来成为其第二故乡的阿根廷，她不断在不同文化之间穿行与实践，并于当地创办金允信美术馆，这是韩国移民艺术家创立的首座美术馆。从日本殖民统治时期与朝鲜战争的动荡岁月中成长起来，到成为韩国当代艺术的重要先驱，金允信的人生轨迹不仅体现出非凡的个人韧性，也彰显了她对于艺术创新始终如一的追求与投入。
金允信于 1959 年获得韩国首尔弘益大学学士学位，并于 1964 年前往法国巴黎国立高等美术学院学习雕塑与石版画。1969 年返回首尔后，她在祥明大学任教雕塑专业，担任教授至 1983 年，并于 1973 年参加第 12 届圣保罗双年展。尽管已建立起成功的职业生涯，她仍于 1984 年移居阿根廷，以拓展其艺术实践。2008 年，她在布宜诺斯艾利斯创立金允信美术馆。

Kim Yun Shin (b. 1935, Wonsan) is a multidisciplinary artist who lives and works in Paju, South Korea. She is known for her dynamic sculpture and painting, which often unfold through a series of interactions with nature. Growing up amidst the backdrop of Korea’s tumultuous history in the 20th century, Kim has established herself as a pioneering figure in the post-war South Korean art scene, overcoming societal norms to carve out a space for herself as a first-generation woman sculptor. Despite facing challenges in a male-dominated field, she ventured to Paris to pursue her artistic aspirations, taught at various universities, and co-founded the Korean Sculptress Association in 1974 to support emerging artists. Partly influenced by her nomadic early life, her work reflects a fearless exploration of diasporic cultures—from France, Mexico, and Brazil, to her adoptive home of Argentina, where she established Museo Kim Yun Shin, the first Korean immigrant art museum. Her journey from turbulent beginnings during the Japanese colonial period and Korean War to becoming a trailblazer in Korean contemporary art reflects the artist’s personal resilience and commitment to artistic innovation.
Kim received her B.F.A. from Hongik University in Seoul, South Korea, in 1959 and studied sculpture and lithography at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France, in 1964. Returning to Seoul in 1969, she taught sculpture at Sangmyung University as a professor until 1983 and participated in the 12th São Paulo Biennale in 1973. Despite having a successful career, the artist decided to move to Argentina in 1984 to expand her artistic practice. In 2008, Kim founded the Museo Kim Yun Shin in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
