The exhibition is about the reflection on the impact of the pandemic on our city in 2020 and on the post-pandemic. The exhibition is divided into two parts. The first part shows paintings, installation and photography works of CHUNG Soyoung, OH Yeonjin and CHO Minah, while JANG Yunmi and PARK Syeyoung present their recent works in the second screening section.
The title of the exhibition ‘Our Homecoming’ is from ‘Poor Harvest of the City’, a novel by PARK Wan-suh, one of the most renowned writers of the 20th century in Korea. In the novel, she portrays the end of one era, and the glimmer of hope afterward from the view of the next generation, not as a dramatic process but as their daily lives. The exhibition aims to convey the power of art to confront the imperfections of the world through the works of young artists who have witnessed the anxiety of the society in pandemics with a keen sense of their own.
是次展覽反思全球流行病對整個城市,以及大流行過後對社會所帶來的影響。展覽分為兩個部分,首部分展出鄭素英、吳連眞及趙珉娥的繪畫、裝置和攝影作品;第二部分則展出張允瑂和朴世煐近期的影像作品。
展覽題目《我們的歸鄉》源自二十世紀韓國當代著名女作家朴婉緖《都市的凶年》一書。小說描繪年輕人如何面對及克服由成年人創造的殘酷世界,並從創傷中恢復及成長。參展的年輕藝術家見證了流行病期間人們的焦慮,再以敏銳的藝術觸覺及獨特見解進行創作,通過藝術的力量抗衡世界的不完美。
