CR Collective is currently presenting a solo exhibition by artist Buhm Hong (b.1970). The exhibition was scheduled to end on March 25, but due to the support of visitors, it has been extended until April 8.
The exhibition, “The Metamorphosis of Moments” refers to a fleeting moment in time, a world created by a dramatic transformation of memory, such as the transformation of a chrysalis into a butterfly. The world created by the artist is based on the reality of time and space and is shaped by the sensation and emotion of remembering a moment. Rather than recreating a specific space or its sense of place, the artist captures the memory of a moment as if picturing it, evoking private or communal memories.
The exhibition includes 16 pencil drawing series, one tempera painting, one three-dimensional installation, and one four-channel video, and two single-channel videos. Buhm Hong is an artist based in New York and Seoul. After graduating from Hongik University’s Department of Industrial Design, he moved to the USA and received his MFA from the School of Visual Arts in the Departments of Computer Art and Photography and Imaging.
