From a Perspective, Light the Future
서지안 (Jian Seo)
The exhibition under the title of “Exchange exhibition - lgnition” has two keywords which are
‘perspective’ and ‘light.’ The exchange between Korea and China is to draw our shining future
starting from the artists’ point of views, and this simple and meaningful purpose made 12 artists
come together.
Even without a big manifesto, the fact that 12 artists all gather in an old shanty town, Balsan, is
a fun and boisterous happening.
The cultural exchange between Korea and China and related exhibitions are quite common
since 1990s, but it is still hard to say that we frequently meet them in our neighbors. And it
sounds also interesting enough for the audience to encounter convoluted contemporary art in a
strange and atypical exhibition space.
