“#2” Installation view at DOOSAN Gallery ©DOOSAN GalleryDOOSAN Gallery is pleased to announce #2, an exhibition featuring artists Sojin Kwak, Rie Nakajima, Hae-youl Bae, Kyungmin Lee, and Choulgue Jung, on view from July 26 to August 20.
The exhibition is part of the ‘DOOSAN Curator Workshop’ program. ‘DOOSAN Curator Workshop’ is a program to discover and support young curators, and three curators are selected each year for the training program. Participants are then invited to present the results of their research by co-curating an exhibition at DOOSAN gallery. This exhibition is a collaboration between the 12th participants, Miji Lee, Mianah Lee, Minjoo Lee.
#2 considers the exhibition as an event that fragments the existing order and allows viewers to draw their own scenes based on it. Hae-youl Bae’s play Saving the Goat (2023) becomes the central axis of the exhibition, with the other four artists each presenting works based on a fragment of the play. They read the play together and respond to it in their own way. Sojin Kwak uses video, Kyungmin Lee uses installations, Rie Nakajima uses sound sculptures, and Choulgue Jung uses embroidery or drawing to approach the play. Rather than treating the play in narrative order, their work moves to new scenes based on the medium they use, the way they understand the play, and the format of the exhibition.
#2 seeks to create a space for the audience to interact with the dramatic moments that exhibitions can create, based on an understanding of the special time and space of exhibitions.
