			Doosan Gallery will hold a special exhibition titled "What Will You Do If You Stare At Me?" from Jan. 15 to Feb. 15, 2020 for its new talent training program, Doosan Curator Workshop. The exhibition is a joint planning exhibition of Park Su-ji, Park Ji-hyung and Chun Mi-rim, who were selected for the ninth Doosan Curator workshop.



In 《What Will You Do If You Stare At Me?》, the three curators invite writer Jang Ji-ah to plan an exhibition of practical meanings to implement a common curative. Recently, the culture and art community has shown a trend in which feminism discourse is again drawing attention and subdividing. In response, I thought it would be timely to look at the 20 years the author has gone through and how his critical approach to the writer can be re-enclosed today. His works were told in somewhat limited contexts, such as resistance to taboos, feminism in dealing with the subject's femininity, madness mentioned by foucault and the non - cheabject mentioned by kris.Teva. The exhibition will review Jang's mainstream interpretation from the early 2000s to the present and ask questions about how to expand it. So, what Will You Do If You Stare At Me? The exhibition title stems from the phrase in Jang’s series of Red Drawing. The sentence implies both Zhang's writer-generated way of firing and the planning direction of the exhibition. Based on the language the author has acquired, this project presents an interpretation point that has never been deeply dealt with, and seeks to elicit a multifaceted message embedded in Jangjia's work.



The three curators want to create an exhibition together and show their own critical perspectives in it. Park Soo-ji approaches Jang Ji-ah’s work in the context of Jeong-dong. It addresses the issues of performance and love, referring to the implementation taking place inside and outside of the body, which is the cause and place of motion. Park Ji-hyung attempts an in-depth reading on the physical sense and tactile visual acuity involved in Jang's text and writing, which was relatively unnoticed due to the intensity of his visual images. Chen Mi-rim takes note of the media nature of Zhang Jia's photography and imaging work and reinterprets it from the perspective of cult aesthetics. In particular, he wants to look at the relationship between Chang Ji-ah's image ideology and narrative character through the methodical features of the media format. The three different languages will be metaphorically revealed as a lump through the interrelationship between nested copper and works in the exhibition hall. I hope that the audience will be able to sympathize with the various critical perspectives of reading the work while freely watching the exhibition along multiple lines.



The "Dusan Curator Workshop" is a program to discover and support up-and-coming curators that will present a new perspective to the Korean contemporary Each year, three curators are selected to invite experts from various fields for one year, and to deal with the theory and site of modern art in depth with lectures, seminars, and workshops. After a year of training, three people from Doosan Gallery jointly plan an exhibition, giving them a real chance to quantify their year-long research.
