The upcoming exhibition 'Phantom Rooms' features artists Yoo Geun-Taek, Xian Kim, Kyungmi Shin, and Lily Wong. 'Phantom Rooms' delves into the intricate relationship between material and immaterial possessions, highlighting their significant influence on identity formation. This exhibition presents a profound exploration of how cultural heritage, traditional artistic practices, and spiritual roots inform and shape contemporary narratives.
Central to the exhibition is the tradition of Chaekgeori, a Korean still-life painting genre from the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1897), which translates to "books and things." These paintings, known for their meticulous compositions, not only celebrate scholarly and everyday objects but also serve as cultural artefacts that reflect the values and intellectual pursuits of their era.
Artists: Yoo Geun-Taek, Lily Wong, Kyungmi Shin, Xian Kim
