In collaboration with the Korea Arts Management Service, SONGEUN is proud to present PANORAMA\u2014an in-depth exploration of eight Korean artists whose practices span generations, media, and themes. Rather than being unified by a single curatorial narrative, the exhibition presents a highly condensed and focused presentation of each artist\u2019s past and current practice. The aim is to showcase the essence of each artist\u2019s individual world in the most representative way.
\nThe eight participating artists each engage with their surroundings in distinct ways, translating perception into material form. The inevitable gaps that emerge in this process transform into various expressions\u2014ranging from ironic commentaries on presence, to collective archives, political undertones in art, or even sensorial translations through light and sound.<\/p>\n

Their function and form are disrupted, yet they remain in elegant dialogue with the architectural structure. Jewyo Rhii, Turn Depot (detail), 2021\u201323, aluminium, iron, stainless steel.

In contrast, Onejoon Che presents a new multimedia installation based on imagined narratives of cultural exchange between African and Asian youth, drawing on his research into sites such as abandoned military bunkers, North Korean monuments in Africa, and former red-light districts.<\/p>\n \uc1a1\uc740 \uc804\uacbd \uc774\ubbf8\uc9c0\u00a9SONGEUN Art and Cultural Foundation and the Artist.

Lastly, Byungjun Kwon\u2019s soundscape invites viewers to wear headsets and move through the space. As they do, they encounter a variety of site-specific sounds recorded by the artist, shifting their perceptual focus from the visual to the auditory.<\/p>\n SONGEUN 02-3448-0100<\/p>\n WEBSITE<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0INSTAGRAM<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[50,52],"class_list":["post-55105","insights","type-insights","status-publish","hentry","category-insight","category-articles"],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"3.0.0","language":"en","enabled_languages":["ko","en"],"languages":{"ko":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false}}},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kiaf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/insights\/55105","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kiaf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/insights"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kiaf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/insights"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kiaf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55105"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kiaf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55105"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nOn the second floor, Minae Kim presents a large-scale installation that expands on her earlier work The Recluse. The piece explores the duality of visibility and concealment, questioning the conditions under which something can exist only when layered or veiled. The installation intervenes with the viewer\u2019s movement through the space, creating a site-specific counterpoint. Facing this work is Jewyo Rhii, who revisits her ongoing Love Your Depot series. She re-contextualizes artworks marginalized by market logic, carefully considering the afterlife of public art that was never shown or has since been dismantled. Further along the elongated corridor of the second floor, Min ha Park’s paintings are arranged in bilateral symmetry. Her work projects a geometric interpretation of ephemeral elements\u2014light, air, memory\u2014into an urban sensibility.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2025\/08\/06153408\/Jewyo-Rhii-Turn-Depot-detail-2021%E2%80%9323-aluminium-iron-stainless-steel.-Courtesy-Barakat-Contemporary-Seoul-e1754462055288.jpg\")
