[Exhibition] Déjà Vu on One Perfect Day (2024 Open Call Exhibition) Event Period 30-05-2024 - 03-08-2024
[Exhibition] Déjà Vu on One Perfect Day (2024 Open Call Exhibition) 📅 May 30 (Thu) - Aug 3 (Sat) 📍 6-7/F, Exhibition Hall, Korean Cultural Center in Hong Kong (Block B, PMQ, 35 Aberdeen Street Central) Artists: LEE Seung Hoon, CHOI Kichang, KIM Suyeon Curator: LEE Jihyeon The Korean Cultural Center in Hong Kong presents the coming exhibition "Déjà Vu on One Perfect Day (2024 Open Call Exhibition)", featuring the major artworks of the three artists, LEE Seung Hoon, CHOI Kichang and KIM Suyeon including the paintings and video productions. All three artists participating in this exhibition, "Déjà Vu on One Perfect Day", work with some kind of story that lie beneath their visual artworks. In each unique way, the artists pass through the past and present of art, and travel in between their original works and unfinished works. The feeling of “I think I have already seen it” may be a default when appreciating art. The title of this exhibition directly shows this three-dimensional sense of “I have already seen it.” This phrase is from the lyrics of the song “I AM” of the K-pop group IVE. Through the exhibition, we dream together of facing the aesthetic “déjà vu” on “one perfect day.” Afterall, that dream will come true for all those who love art. 1.
