Korea Arts Management Service’s “Korean Artists Today” initiative, the
exhibition brings together eight artists and collectives whose practices expand
the possibilities of contemporary art, serving as a platform for long-term
international engagement. Rather than adhering to a set theme, the show
highlights each artist’s distinct voice.

(Onejoon Che, Sun A Moon), Goen Choi, ikkibawiKrrr, Minae Kim, Byungjun Kwon,
Min ha Park, Jewyo Rhii, and Sun Woo—explore the world through individual
frameworks of perception, translating its gaps and frictions into painting,
sculpture, installation, photography, and video.
Their works reframe the familiar, revealing
political and social structures, and transforming notions of space and time
through light, sound, and architectural form.
Alongside this, the outdoor media wall
presents 《Still/ Moving》, a
program featuring single-channel videos by Hyewon Kwon, Raejung Sim, Sojung
Jun, and Hong Seung-Hye. As a newly introduced public art initiative by
SONGEUN, the program responds to the unique characteristics of the outdoor
media wall, showcasing silent single-channel video works that engage with their
site-specific context.

bunker space features a new exhibition program, 《Groundwork:
The Bunker Room Presentations》. SONGEUN’s previously
non-public exhibition storage, the ‘Bunker Room,’ has been independently
curated to suit its unique site and context.
《Groundwork》 is
designed to allow individual artists’ installations to actively engage with the
physical and conceptual conditions of the space. Through experimental and
site-specific presentations, the program aims to provide ongoing support for
the creative practices of Korean artists.

exhibition 《HALF MOON CLUB》 marks
the opening of the program. Building on her sensorial approach to geological
sculptural language, Chung continues her exploration of the temporality and
modes of existence of materials, creating an open-structured space where
incomplete beings interact through new installations, sculptures, and video
works. The exhibition title, ‘Club,’ refers not to a closed community but to a
place where different entities intersect temporarily.
The exhibition and program are open to the
public from Monday to Saturday, 11:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., with advance
reservations via Naver. In September, in conjunction with Frieze Seoul, the
exhibition will participate in Cheongdam Night on Wednesday, September 3,
extending opening hours until 10:00 p.m.
