Press Release

BB&M is delighted to present Hanging Around, opening on March 7. The exhibition brings together new and old works by artists and friends of the gallery, complemented by creations of young Korean furniture designers—chairs, tables, and lighting—slipping comfortably into the show’s low-key attitude. Favoring humor and wit over polemic, and non-committal inquisitiveness over dogma, it offers a companionable experience. Cool, smart, and lighthearted by turns, the works remind us that contemporary art can still edify and enrich the intellect and the senses without being entirely joyless.

About the Gallery

Since its inception in 2009 as an art consultancy in Seoul, BB&M has been instrumental in the rise of some of the most acclaimed contemporary Korean artists on the international stage. BB&M’s current iteration as an independent gallery is a collaboration between James B. Lee (Founding Principal) and Si Young Hur (Principal), who brings extensive experience as director and partner in Seoul’s leading galleries, where she was responsible for exhibitions of such artists as Thomas Struth, Olafur Eliasson, Liam Gillick, and Yun Hyong-keun, a key figure in Dansaekhwa.
