Gallery Baton is pleased to announce Estuary: Between Tides, from 10 April to 10 May, 2025. The exhibition features a works by seven Korean and international artists including Andi Fischer, Max Frisinger, Jonathan Monk, Ludovic Nkoth, Noémie Goudal, Roh Choong Hyun, and Rinus Van de Velde.
An artist’s life, when wholly dedicated to their craft, can resemble the solitary journey of a salmon. Alone, they navigate an expansive and unpredictable sea of creation, honing a formative will that gradually manifests within. This journey demands perseverance and introspection, as the artist seeks to establish their own visual language, often in voluntary isolation within the confines of a studio. It is within this solitude that moments of profound insight and discovery occur, culminating in a rich tapestry of unique ideas and expressions.
The beauty of a group exhibition lies in its ability to create an immediate, though temporary, fusion of diverse interpretations. Varied currents of genres, styles, and perspectives converge, interact, and form a new dynamic within the exhibition space. Comparable to a serene lodge momentarily bustling with hikers from diverse paths, the exhibition Estuary: Between Tides highlights the wealth of intersections it generates. In these moments of convergence, the true power of art is unveiled: its capacity to connect, challenge, and transform.
This exhibition presents the unique trajectories of artists as observers of their respective eras. In today’s hyper-connected world, the contemporary landscape often appears flattened, even dull; yet, as the narratives of these artists intertwine, vitality is restored. Within the space they momentarily occupy, we witness how disparate artistic approaches can interact, evolve, and resonate. Through this interplay, audiences gain insight into how distinct perspectives and experiences are woven into a dynamic, collective narrative.
Since its founding in 2011, Gallery Baton has gained international recognition as a leading contemporary art gallery in Korea. Distinguishing itself with a dynamic and refined program, Baton consistently strives for an in-depth understanding of current paradigms within the complex and ever-changing landscape of contemporary art.
