Rethinking Familiar Orders and Social Conventions Rethinking Familiar Orders and Social Conventions
Articles Artist Gimhongsok Translates Social Phenomena into Art
Gimhongsok (b. 1964) has been rearranging various social, political, and cultural phenomena through translation and appropriation in his works, starting from text-based works that rely on ambiguity to address the boundary between reality and fiction, for the past 20 years.
Articles Artist Kim Beom’s Artworks Oscillating Between Humor and Cynicism
Kim Beom (b. 1963) humorously transforms the artist’s imagination from small everyday events into real objects. His work ranges from object works that transform everyday objects into new objects, to drawings and video works that realize the artist’s imagination, to publications in the form of monographs.
Articles Artist Ahn Kyuchul Reveals the Invisible Side of Life and Things
Artist Ahn Kyuchul (b. 1955) has been relentlessly seeking alternative prospects of contemporary art through profound examination on life and art since the mid-1980s. Acclaimed for his complex yet delicate artistic vocabulary incorporating reflections on daily life, as well as close observations of everyday objects and language, Ahn has constructed a body of work. His visual language, deeply rooted in a conceptual approach and oblique representations of reality, allows viewers to reassess the essence of human nature and objects while confronting the irrationalities and paradoxes of modern life.
