《All Tomorrow’s Parties》, 2022.04.07 – 2022.04.19, Art Space 3
An exhibition is always a kind of opportunity, yet also a form of judgment. In today’s art system, those who offer opportunities often simultaneously act as judges. As artists who step forward, we are expected to shine at the site of opportunity and remain confident under judgment—this is the demand placed upon us by contemporary society.

[Critique] “The Work of Sculpting”or the Responsibility for the Unseen
The first time I was asked by curator Eunsoon Yoo to write about Sujin Moon’s exhibition, I instantly read the phrase “female narrative” in the email. Now that feminism or feminist art in Korea has expanded in volume since 2016, it may be natural to read Sujin Moon’s solo exhibition, 《Tactile Recall》, the theme of which is the artist’s grandmother, as a series of works that witness, recreate, and embody “female narrative.”

[Critique] About Jung Jihyun’s ‘Structure Studies: Topology’
Photography can oftentimes be deceiving in that it sublimates room for impression due to its two-dimensionality and singular viewpoint. Over the decades, architectural photography has developed into it’s own independent sub-genre; disseminated in magazines, catalogues, newspapers, exhibitions or advertisements on a greater scale and more emphatically than ever before, it has oversaturated mass media outlets.

《Undefined Panorama 2.0》, 2019.09.27 – 2019.10.27, Alternative Space LOOP
Around 2014, Yang Ah Ham started to feel that she was hitting the wall with her art. After twenty years as an artist, she felt devasted witnessing the practice of criticism give into the system and lose its rigor. “Where did it go wrong?” “What can we do to find our way out?” These questions naturally grew beyond the personal, and into the social dimension. Since then, the artist began to question the political system in very specific ways.
