CENTER presents a group exhibition 《The Last Carnival》
on view through July 8.
The
exhibition, 《The Last Carnival》,
is a moment when the familiar order of the world pauses briefly, and twisted
senses and mixed imaginations—a spectacle blending carnival and play.
The
three participating artists—Dew Kim, Haejin Yoon, and Kwon Jiyoung—each explore
the notion of life as a finite narrative composed of endlessly repeating
moments or fleeting instants that ultimately lead to destruction and
disappearance. Through their distinct perspectives, they unfold this ephemeral
nature of life in their own unique visual languages.

allows us to experience temporary liberation and freedom through ruin,
sacrifice, and rebirth, with the ‘last’ serving as the prerequisite for all of
these. The three artists interpret this rhythm of ruin, sacrifice, and rebirth
through their own methods and conscious acts, creating scenes that resemble
stages of death inspired by playfulness or moments on the edge of a festival.
