Daegu Art Factory showcases the works of fourteen residency artists: Kijo(기조), Siheun Kim, Youna Kim, Darae Baek, Sooyeoun Baek, Shinmyeon Joon, Eunjoo Shin, Hyemin Yoo, So Jin Lee, Seungho Lee, Yohan Lee, Lim Jihae, Klara Petra Szabo, and Leon Billerbeck. A Journey of Multitudes presents about 100 works that have been carried out during participation in the residency program in March.
The residency program, which also provides an art critic mentoring program, has invited three curators who are active in the Korean and international art scene: Sung woo Kim, director of Primary Practice; Yi Soojung, curator at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art; and Juhyun Cho, a curatorial director of Drifting Curriculum.
The exhibition discusses artists’ shifted identities and lives after the pandemic, which inevitably led to social, structural, and philosophical paradigms. The exhibition also aims to be a place for the artists to reflect on their residency experiences and find new possibilities for their future artistic practices.
