Beyond the Reality

2017-06-09 ~ 2017-06-09 / Gyeonggi Cultural Foundation Lobby


Beyond the Reality marks the opening of GyeongGi Cultural Foundation Lobby Gallery. The new space is a visual arts platform dedicated to the discovery of talented artists. Through professional support programs GGCF continuously contributes to the active creation of prospective artists in the Gyeonggi-do region. Extending this endeavor, the foundation is hosting a duo exhibition of Kim Hyo Sook, who is the selected promising artist of 2016, and Lee Juri, who shares a similar critical context with Kim. Reflected in the title, the exhibition highlights their different attitudes in dealing with the invisible aspects of city, repeated in its rapid destruction and formation.


Kim Hyo Sook, who draws the floating city with exquisite detail, and Lee Juri, who combines imaginative forms to create unpredictable scenes, focus on construction sites where forms are never complete. They express the city’s incomplete spaces through deconstructed forms sedimented into the construction site, illuminating different ways of interpreting it. While Kim reveals the very process of recomposing perceptual information, Lee subjectively interprets this perceptual information in order to produce forms and arrange them as fragments.


The two artists contemplate contemporary image production in the circumstances where the boundaries between original and duplicate — and between reality and virtuality — are blurred and their existences vanish. They present a situation where reality and virtuality are entangled by recombining actual architectural fragments and imaginary images; they question the permanence of image through superimposing and combining reproducible forms. Providing an opportunity of exploring ways of perceiving and interpreting today’s city through the artists’ keen sensibility and exploring painting as a medium to record it, the exhibition aims to develop a productive dialogue between contemporary artists. Additionally, the exhibition allows us to feel foreign inside the city we encounter every day and find new perspectives.
