︎︎︎ Say Hello
Nancy is a queer Korean-American interdisciplinary artist, designer and creative, whose work navigates across sculpture, sound, and space.
Under the alias Nyhne (pronounced— "nine"), they investigate the sonic architecture of emotion, hidden stories, and multigenerational pain. Using the amplification of hand-crafted elements, voice, electronics, breath, and synthesis, they create tense and textural environments for catharsis. Through improvisation, their performances welcome chance and play, enabling pain to alchemize into an optimistic potential.
Currently, they are co-creating a hotel, bath house, community space and club in the Hudson Valley centering art, well-being and the liminal space. Previously, they were Design Director at Ace Hotel Group, led design at craft-forward companies like Henrybuilt, and taught design studios at Parsons School of Design.
Nancy has shown work at Arario Gallery, Reykjavik Art Museum, MIT Keller Gallery, Van Alen Institute, and performed at The Glass House, Issue Project Room, Basilica Hudson, Opus 40, Trans Pecos, and many DIY spaces. They hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Parsons School of Design and a Master of Architecture from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where they received The MIT Energy Initiative Grant, CAMIT Art Grant, and Louis C. Rosenberg Thesis Fellowship. They are also certified in Integrative Hypnotherapy.
