Born in Ithaca, New York to Korean parents in 1966, Michael Joo is an artist whose work crosses the boundaries between sculpture, performance, drawing, video art and installation. A biology graduate turned artist, Joo explores life's biggest themes – science and religion, high and low culture, sex and death. His work can be found in numerous public and private collections including New York's Guggenheim Museum, Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Samsung Centre for Art and Culture in Seoul. Meet Michael Joo in this third episode of Brilliant Ideas, brought to you by Bloomberg and Hyundai Motor.
