GROUP EXHIBITION

Beijing Commune is proud to announce the opening of a group exhibition by six Korean young artists (group) at 4 pm on November 25, 2014, the exhibition will continue until February 28, 2015.

Gate-Opener is curated by two Korean curators LEE Jinmyung and SUH Jinsuk. The objective of this exhibition is to introduce the artistic realms of today's trend-setting, representative contemporary Korean artists to the continental nation of China. The participated artists including BANG & LEE, BEAK Jung-Ki, LEE Changwon, LEE Wonsoo, SONG Gee and YEOM Ji-hee, who have been working since the 2000s. They are no longer taking a passive attitude towards oppression of other cultures or affected by it, but they are independent artists who are presenting various works by media or by title. In fact, the 21st century for modern art encourages horizontal exchange between Asia and the West with getting rid of binary relation of centrality and periphery. In the past, inter-country cultural exchange was vertically processed for economic differences but as time goes by, the cascading flow of cultural exchange has been changed to horizontal. Korea is not a peripheral country but a new centrality for the modern art industry and it's strengthening its new independent aesthetics. Korean young artists in the 21st century of digital times will make a vision of Korea's new modern art in align with this time full of oppurtunities.
