Che Go Eun

Cabinet of Hearts

GALLERY GALLERY is proud to initiate yet another new concept. Next to the short-term projects that are taking place in recent years, GALLERY GALLERY already had launched a concept where each year, one artist will be invited to install a work in the exhibition space that will be exhibited on continuous display spanning all other projects for one full academic year. In addition, GALLERY GALLERY now launches a new concept where each year, one artist will be invited to install a work in direct relation to the public space and will be continuously displayed during summer closing, spanning from the beginning of July to the end of August.

GALLERY GALLERY has invited Che Go Eun (1988, Seoul) to kick off this new series. Influenced by ‘Chaekgado’, a genre of Korean painting from the 18th Century in Joseon dynasty, and ‘Wunderkammer’, the European cabinet of curiosities, Che Go Eun presents ‘Cabinet of Hearts’ (2021). Using digital collage printed on self-adhesive foil complemented with the use of light, the windows giving out to the street will be transformed into a lightbox.
