[Exhibition] Speculative Visions of a Post-Climate Future Event Period 04-06-2026 - 04-07-2026
The Korean Cultural Center in Hong Kong presents "Speculative Visions of a Post-Climate Future", a Korea-Hong Kong media art exchange exhibition on view from June 4 to July 4, 2026. Organized in celebration of the 2026 “Year of Cultural Exchange among Korea, China, and Japan,” the exhibition brings together contemporary media artists and curators from Korea and Hong Kong in a collaborative platform for creative dialogue. Centered on the theme of a post-climate-change future, the exhibition explores evolving relationships between humans, the environment, and technology through a diverse range of media, including virtual reality, game-based works, and moving-image installations. The project is co-curated in partnership with Studio for Narrative Spaces—an artistic collective formed by practitioners from the School of Creative Media at City University of Hong Kong—and aims to foster sustained artistic exchange and collaboration between the two regions. ▲Yeom Inhwa, Koko Killing Island: Tour d'Epicure (Photo credit: RAY LC and Evan Zhao Yifan) ▲Kim Sangdon, The Eggs (Photo credit: RAY LC and Evan Zhao Yifan) ▲Jang Yunyoung, Symbiotic Luminescence (Photo credit: RAY LC and Evan Zhao Yifan) ▲Oh Jooyoung, Scope of the Cloud (Photo credit: RAY LC and Evan Zhao Yifan) ▲Koh Hui, Perceive (Panorama) ▲Picture Rhythm Studios and Studio for Narrative Spaces, Nonhumotion 2.0 (Photo credit: RAY LC and Evan Zhao Yifan) The exhibition features leading Korean media artists Yeom Inhwa, Kim Sangdon, Oh Jooyoung, Kohui, Jang Yunyoung, and Hong Kong-based team Picture Rhythm Studios. Through distinct artistic approaches and technological mediums, the participating artists envision speculative futures shaped by climate crisis, proposing new ecological and technological paradigms that move beyond anthropocentric perspectives. Yeom Inhwa’s VR work adopts the format of virtual tourism to explore the historical trajectory of climate crises and transformations in media technology. Kim Sangdon visualizes questions surrounding life and futurity through the motif of the egg. Oh Jooyoung presents a game-based narrative of human–ecological relationships set within a speculative future city, while Koh Hui employs video and sound to reconfigure the rhythms and structures of contemporary society. Jang Yunyoung’s AI-driven video work reflects on symbiotic relations within marine ecosystems affected by climate change, and Picture Rhythm Studio proposes a new narrative of survival in which technology and ritual converge in a post-collapse world.

The event welcomed over 60 attendees, including artists, art professionals, and members of the public from both Korea and Hong Kong, creating a dynamic platform for cultural exchange.

[Exhibition] Echoes in Between: Four Voices in Korean Abstraction Event Period 04-02-2026 - 19-03-2026
The Korean Cultural Center in Hong Kong presents “Echoes in Between: Four Voices in Korean Abstraction” from February 4 to March 19, 2026, at the gallery space of the Korean Cultural Center in Hong Kong. Organized in collaboration with Soluna Fine Art Gallery, the exhibition features four leading Korean abstract artists—Ha Tae-Im, Jang Seungtaik, Kim Young-Hun, and Park Yoon-Kyung. While each artist engages abstraction through different visual languages, they are united by shared inquiries into color, layering, gesture, and space, revealing how meaning emerges in the subtle intervals between material and immaterial, presence and absence. Ha Tae-Im’s Un Passage series evokes psychological resonance and human connection through flowing bands of color. Jang Seungtaik’s Layered Painting records time and presence with translucent layers. Kim Young-Hun’s Electronic Nostalgia merges traditional brushwork with digital sensibilities to visualize vibrations between analogue and digital. Park Yoon-Kyung layers color and text on silk and chiffon, dissolving boundaries of image and space to explore universal values of communication and emotion. At the opening reception on February 4, over 50 figures from Hong Kong’s cultural and art community, as well as collectors and general visitors, attended and engaged in exchanges.
