NTT InterCommunication Center (ICC) in Tokyo has published a podcast interview with artist Kim Youngeun focused on her contributions to 'ICC Annual 2026: Leave / Remain / Receive'. The interview, released on July 30, discusses the works included in the exhibition, her creative process and recent activities, with particular attention to her series 'To Future Listeners'.
According to ICC, the podcast is presented as an interview with a participating artist in the annual exhibition. The page identifies the feature as an English-language audio conversation and frames it as a chance to hear the artist speak directly about the highlights of the exhibition works, the background to their production and her recent practice. The interview includes a brief structure that moves from self-introduction and her usual themes to the overall outline of the exhibited work and then to individual pieces in the series.
The podcast specifically addresses 'To Future Listeners 1', 'To Future Listeners 2' and 'To Future Listeners 3', with the chapter list on ICC’s page indicating separate segments for each work. The conversation also touches on questions around sound and listening, as well as the exhibition space itself, before closing with a final segment. ICC’s own description says the interview asks the artist about what stands out in the exhibition pieces, how they were made and what she has been doing in recent years.
'ICC Annual 2026: Leave / Remain / Receive' runs at NTT InterCommunication Center in Tokyo from June 20 to November 8, 2026. The museum’s page links the interview directly to the exhibition and lists Kim Youngeun among the related artists and works. The site also identifies the connected works as 'To Future Listeners 1' from 2022, 'To Future Listeners 2' from 2022 and 'To Future Listeners 3' from 2025.
ICC, based in Shinjuku’s Tokyo Opera City Tower, uses its Channel ICC platform for podcasts, blogs, news and press releases. The Kim Youngeun interview appears there as part of the institution’s ongoing publication of artist materials connected to its exhibition programme, with the podcast page dated July 30, 2026 and the exhibition’s run continuing through early November.
