    One of the foremost early champions of performance art in Korea in the 1960s and 70s, Lee Kun-Yong’s thought-provoking pieces infused new spiritual energy into a Korean avant-garde art movement during post-war recovery. A pioneering figure in the “Space and Time” and “Avant-Garde” art groups, he is from the same era as contemporary performance artist Marina Abramovic. Lee’s participation in the São Paulo Biennale in 1979 consolidated his position as one of the key figures of the Korean contemporary art.
