For the year’s first exhibition, Esther Schipper Seoul invited Minjin Chae to curate a group presentation by artists based in South Korea.
Titled Still Life: Objects of Our Time, the exhibition presents works by Sejin Kwon, Jinhee Kim, Jiwon Kim, Min Joung-Ki, Sungsic Moon, Shinyoung Park, Jeong-A Bang, Nosik Lim, Lee Jinju, Geun-Taek Yoo, Yaerim Ryu, Byungkoo Jeon, Soojung Jung, Sun Woo, and Jin Han.
Still Life: Objects of Our Time brings together artists across generations; each producing a still life painting especially for this this occasion. While framing it within the contemporary moment, the presentation parses the art historic tradition of still life painting, attending to the works on view in lieu of Korea’s modern history and contemporary culture. The exhibition is accompanied by an essay written by Meene An.
