Press Release

Second Nature brings together seven emerging Korean galleries and sixteen artistic positions within a shared curatorial framework. Conceived as a space for discovery, collaboration and experimentation, the project creates connections between distinct gallery programs and artistic practices allowing different perspectives to coexist, resonate and enter into dialogue.

Moving between the natural and the artificial, the material and the symbolic, the rational and the mysterious, Second Nature considers how artists navigate a world that increasingly exceeds immediate understanding. Rituals, myths, vernacular objects, techniques and materials—some rooted in specific Korean histories—are recoded and brought into dialogue with speculative forms, technological systems and contemporary image culture.

Presented in collaboration with Paris Internationale during Paris Art Week 2026, Second Nature extends through a program of talks and performances, creating further encounters between artists, galleries and the international art community.
