“I am your Body: Chapter 2 – Flesh”, curated by Seolhui Lee, who served as the co-artistic director of the Korean Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale, is on view at Kunsthal Aarhus in Denmark until January 26.

“I am your Body” is a new exhibition series presented for the first time at Kunsthal Aarhus. The second chapter, “I am your Body: Chapter 2 – Flesh,” focuses on humanity, existence, and physical properties. Six artists from East and Southeast Asia participated in this exhibition, each exploring the concept of humanity through their unique artistic language. Among the participating artists are Korean artists Yoonsuk Jung and Keunmin Lee.

The exhibition is presented across three distinct spaces. The first gallery, designed like a movie theater, screens Yoonsuk Jung’s documentary works, Non-Fiction Diary (2013) and Lash (2024). These films delve into themes of human existence and humanity.

The second gallery is an archive dedicated to early performance works by internationally renowned artists born in the 1950s and 1960s, including Zhang Huan (China), Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook (Thailand), Melati Suryodarmo (Indonesia), and He Chengyao (China).

The third gallery is a rotunda which contains seven immersive paintings by Keunmin Lee which were specially commissioned for this exhibition. The paintings feature Lee’s personal experiences of hallucinations. These works drift between abstraction and figuration, containing forms that resemble human body parts and flesh.

Participating Artists: Yoonsuk Jung (KR), Zhang Huan (CN), Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook (TH), Melati Suryodarmo (ID), He Chengyao (CN), Keunmin Lee (KR)
