ADDRESS     1F, 10, Samseong-ro 149-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul

PROGRAM    Exhibition Opening Party

TIME             6:00 PM – 10:00 PM

 

GALLERY Grappe presents two programs in harmony with the exhibition for Cheongdam Night.

The first, Sound Walk, is a sound installation that fills the entire exhibition space, offering an auditory interpretation of the theme where reality and imagination converge. This immersive soundscape invites visitors to experience emotional resonance alongside visual stimuli.

The second program, What Is Your Resonance Today?, is an emotional tarot card experience. Like a scene from a fairy tale, each card offers a message, leaving emotional space open for personal interpretation. As visitors journey through the exhibition, the cards gently guide them to tune into their emotional rhythm, allowing for a more introspective and fluid engagement with the artworks.

 

 

Kimreeaa Gallery

 

 

VENUE         Kimreeaa Gallery

ADDRESS     5 Apgujeong-ro 75-gil, Seoul

PROGRAM    Exhibition Preview & Cocktail Party

TIME             6:00 PM – 10:00 PM 

 

The paintings of Koo Jahyun meet the collections of Repossi, the French high jewelry house, within a shared space of quiet resonance. Known for his disciplined exploration of flatness and materiality, Koo’s work enters into a subtle dialogue with Repossi’s legacy of craftsmanship and refined aesthetics. Beyond the conventional dichotomies of “tradition and modernity” or “East and West,” the presentation reveals moments where two distinct formal languages gently intertwine.

This presentation features a wide spectrum of Repossi’s archive, including signature collections such as Berbère, Antifer, Serti Sur Vide, and the high jewelry collection Blast. In response to these, Koo unveils new paintings inspired by the structural motifs, symbolic language, and textures found within the jewelry. The lines, curves, and luminosity of the pieces are reimagined on canvas, extending into a cross-medium visual rhythm.

Rather than a simple collaboration, this presentation explores how two artistic sensibilities resonate and expand together. Rooted in different traditions, the paintings and jewelry quietly construct a space of coexistence—an interplay of form, silence, and reflection.

GALERIE PICI

 

 

VENUE         GALERIE PICI

ADDRESS     25 Dosan-daero 87-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul

PROGRAM    Exhibition Opening Party

TIME             4:00 PM – 10:00 PM

 

Interior Selves: What We Carry, What We Weave brings together works by Shinduk Kang, Jungjo Na, and Enoch Cheng. Each artist opens up their inner world in a distinct way, confronting and expressing memories and emotions through their chosen materials. Together, their practices offer reflections on balance, care, and the quiet process of tending to the self.

Shinduk Kang wraps antique furniture in silk fabric, breathing new life and emotion into familiar forms.
Jungjo Na projects AI-generated silk imagery over mirrors, subtly tracing the shifting boundaries of self and perception. Enoch Cheng works with silk, wool, and deconstructed garments to gently unfold suppressed emotions and diasporic memory, using the tactile language of fabric to speak to vulnerability and care.

Collectively, the works follow the delicate grain of what we carry within—asking how we live with what we hold, and how we continue to weave meaning through it.

 

 

GALLERY Planet

ADDRESS     #2F, 14, Apgujeong-ro 71-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul

PROGRAM    Midnight Art Salon

TIME             7:00 PM – 9:00 PM

 

Planet presents “Midnight Art Viewing,”a special late-night program held in conjunction with the exhibition Sensory Projection.

For this event, the gallery will extend its opening hours until 9 PM, allowing visitors—including working professionals and students who may find it difficult to visit during the day—to enjoy the exhibition in a more relaxed setting.

“Sensory Projection” features paintings and installations by Suyoun Kim, Shinae Kim,and Hyungjin Park, exploring the nature of art as an act of projecting the world perceived through the most fundamental mode of cognition—our senses.

Each artist approaches this concept differently: from translating invisible sensory traces into material form, to capturing the shifting colors and patterns of everyday scenery through repeated observation. Together, they offer an expanded horizon of thought and perception.

“Midnight Art Viewing”aims to lower the barrier to entry into the gallery space and offer a tranquil, immersive experience with art—an evening that invites visitors into a deeper engagement with the works on view.

Lee Hooshin explores the emotional landscape of the human psyche through a state of serene isolation.
By stripping away the unnecessary, he turns inward—guided by raw, instinctive sensations that surface from the unconscious. For Choi Hana, the emotions and questions that arise from lived experience—and the act of reflecting on them—form the core of her philosophical inquiry.
Through this process, she distills profound insights into existence and the world into singular, evocative moments on canvas. distills philosophical and surreal insights into reflective scenes, creating paintings that encapsulate deep thoughts in a single moment.

 

Additionally, at Heo Pilseok’s opening party, guests will have the opportunity to enjoy finger foods and traditional Korean liquor WRY.

<Silent Song> is both a song of comfort dedicated to those recovering from the wounds of language and an expression of the artist’s attitude of listening attentively to someone’s true voice. We invite you to listen closely to the sincerity conveyed by <Silent Song>.

On September 3, please join us for a special time with artist Jung Hai-yun.
