For the 22nd SONGEUN Art Award, the Grand Prize winner will be selected among the 20 short listed artists who have been chosen through an open call that took place last February, amongst the greater pool of over 500 applicants.

The exhibition presents each artist’s new works reflecting various aspects of contemporary Korean art, which includes painting, sculpture, installation, photography, video, and sound. We hope you will come join us with this celebration of the artists.

In this exhibition, Jung presents new artworks that focus on “cut slopes”, which are the exposed horizontal surface of the stratum and the vertical side of the sedimentary layer cut away during the excavation process. The artist experiments with silk-screening techniques for the first time, applying a silk screen over photographic paper to express the temporality of the sedimentary layer and the materiality that cannot be recorded by digital photography.
