			The LOTTE Museum of Art presents JR: Chronicles, the first large-scale retrospective in South Korea of world-renowned artist JR (b. 1983). Following the Brooklyn Museum, New York exhibition in 2019 and one at Kunsthalle Munich, Germany, this show in Seoul will be the first in Asia to look back at more than twenty of the artist's accomplishments. His major projects of cultural, social, and political interests and public participation demonstrate how the meaning of his work as public art has developed through the years.

JR speaks of many stories in his works, through which he motivates a change in perception of how we view the world. Consisting of over 140 photograph, paste-up and video works as well as an archive documenting the project, JR: Chronicles will serve as a stage to stir interest and discourse of major social issues of the current times the artist hopes to communicate across borders and offer audiences the opportunity to experience JR's unique artistic visions.

* JR: Chronicles is curated by Sharon Matt Atkins, Deputy Director for Art and Drew Sawyer, Phillip and Edith Leonian Curator of Photography, Brooklyn Museum.
