the DOOSAN Curator Workshop (DCW) exhibition 《The Green
Ray》, on view through September 13.
Co-curated by 2024 DCW alumni Kim
Yurmyurng, Kim Jinju, and Shin Jaemin, 《The Green Ray》comprises three individual exhibitions shaped by intersecting
thoughts and experiences.
Over the course of the program, the three
curators read, wrote, reflected, and traveled together—engaging in a sustained
inquiry into curatorial approaches that respond to the affective and material
conditions of the present. 《The Green Ray》 is the distilled outcome of this journey, bringing together an
accumulation of questions, sensibilities, and attitudes.

Photo: Poles.The exhibition takes its title from a rare
optical phenomenon—a fleeting green flash that appears on the horizon where the
sea and sky, day and night meets. Drawing on this momentary occurrence, the
exhibition reflects on the elusive nature of perception and the attentiveness
required to capture what so often slips away. Through this lens, the curators
bring into focus and reconfigure the subtle intervals, fleeting affects, and
unruly rhythms that escape the grasp of the present.

toward a space-time in which one might recalibrate a sense of balance and
encounter others anew, inviting viewers to collectively gaze toward a light of
possibility—a green flash shimmering at the edge of life.
