“Three Yesterday Nights” Installation view at Perigee Gallery © Perigee GalleryFrom August 9 to September 11, Perigee Gallery will present Three Yesterday Nights, an exhibition by Goyoson, Kim Sangso, and Jeong Juwon.
The exhibition focuses on the ways in which art meets narrative. To do so, the exhibition highlights the state of “writing” that coincides with art becoming a realm of “reading”. Also, it borrows the narrative structure of Jorge Luis Borges’s collection of short stories Ficciones (1944), in which the narrative branches off into multiple stories. Artists Goyoson, Kim Sangso, and Jeong Juwon diverge and meet in the exhibition, focusing on their own narratives. Goyoson takes his solo exhibition, Michel (Alterside, 2021), and makes a new performance, (2023), as a sequel to Michel ‘s narrative. Drawing on Anne Carson’s novel Autobiography of Red (1998), which rewrites the story of Herakles and Geryon, Kim Sangso deconstructs and reassembles the character of Herakles and Geryon. Through ceramics and paintings, Jeong Juwon rewrites the stories of what she saw and the people she met during her travels in Mongolia.
Each story unfolds in one exhibition space, freely colliding and scattering to generate a new narrative in the form of an exhibition.
