The Now & Next video series
features three artist pairings: established artists Kim Ah-young, Kim Min-jung,
and Park Young-sook, alongside emerging artists Im Youngzoo, Kim Sung-yoon, and
Yang Jung-wook. Through these pairings, the artists engage in conversations
about time, connectivity, their relationship with Seoul, and the influence of a
rapidly changing world on their creative practice.
By continuing to support this series, Chanel
celebrates Korea’s unique cultural heritage and its vibrant art scene. This
initiative aligns with the house’s century-long tradition of fostering global
art and culture, bridging present achievements with future aspirations. It
reflects the vision of founder Gabrielle Chanel, who famously stated, "Be
part of what happens next."
As one of the world’s leading art
institutions, Frieze made its debut in the Asian market with the successful
launch of Frieze Seoul in 2022. Now in its third edition, Frieze Seoul 2024
will take place from September 4 to 7, featuring over 110 international
galleries. Chanel has been a committed partner of Frieze since 2022,
reinforcing its dedication to the arts and cultural dialogue worldwide.
