    [Exhibition] Kaleidoscope 萬華鏡 (2025 Open Call Exhibition)   📅 2025.1.16-3.29 📍 6-7/F, Exhibition Hall, Korean Cultural Center in Hong Kong (Block B, PMQ, 35 Aberdeen Street Central)   Artist:  배준성 BAE Joonsung 裵准晟 (1967-) 최영욱 CHOI Youngwook 崔永旭 (1964-) 황란 HWANG Ran 黃蘭 (1960-) 이이남 LEE Leenam 李二男 (1969-) 여동헌 YEO Donghun 呂東憲 (1970-)   Curation: 아트파크 ARTPARK   萬華鏡 - Kaleidoscope introduces the artistic worlds of five contemporary Korean artists who actively work on a global stage. Like the patterns of a kaleidoscope, these artists show their unique and creative realms through diverse artistic backgrounds and expressions. Through these works, they harmonize Korean aesthetics with modern sensibilities, going beyond merely presenting Korean art to reinterpreting its traditions and contemporary elements in distinctive ways, thereby challenging the global art scene. This exhibition, held in Hong Kong—one of Asia’s premier art hubs—breaks down the boundaries between East and West through the unique artistic expressions of five artists. It delivers unique and meaningful messages through a variety of artistic philosophies. Different cultures and emotions merge through art, creating endlessly evolving new patterns and offering opportunities for rich artistic encounters. Over the divides of East and West, religion, and nationality, this exhibition provides a chance to directly experience the “harmony through art” that defines contemporary Korean art.
