			⟪Time Department Store No.1⟫
Time is like a riddle that is easy to ask but hard to answer. The first department store to sell this exhibition time does not look for answers to this old riddle. Rather, he tells the story of the many "present days" captured outside of time as well as the multi-world exploration surrounding time with the question of "What does the alternative time look like four writers and researchers.

Unlike the time of balance and harmony that the clock indicates, the time indicated by this exhibition is a time of chasm or divergence Seeing what time looks like is not a fixed form of time, but a viewer’s ‘current’ and relationship. Thus, each unique place that looks at each gap changes the size of the duration and delay in the gap, and the speed of the transition changes, and time appears to be different every time. Four (team) participating in the exhibition are positioned in their respective observation areas, divisions, to record the appearance of this time. Unformatted archive group Project-Levelnine waits in the moving segment, the collection group’s open circuit and visual artist Haruka Otta in architecture and place, the media artist Tim Rudd in the sound and narratives, and choreographer Yuhan-sol in the moving segment.

Each division is not a boundary between genres, but a different language, a world of stories, that relates to time. Installation, video, performance, and writing appear simultaneously regardless of the part, and only language (including notions), objects (including images), and actions (including audience behavior) are the conduits for the endless flow of translations to and from this world. The part of the work that the artist builds is not inherently an archive of past and memory, but a present that captures the possibility of waiting through archival materials. At first glance, the archive is deftly similar to the archive, but it is certainly not because it only survives on the present. And multiple, if not strictly taxonomy, multiple units have one higher set of parts stores.

The art museum, which calls for more spiritual exchange than money, is becoming a department store that sells bundles of archive materials and forgetfulness. Selling time in it is, after all, an exchange or transaction of stories made up by a poet-dreaming artist. Visitors wait for the miracle of picking out each desired product with a free will within the overflowing story and a pile of time. With so much "time" to pay in currency, the first store in the department store is set to open.


an open circuit
Lee Hyun-in and Cho Keun-ha, two planners. From 2014 to 2018, the company operated a space of the same name in Sewoon Sangga, Jongno-gu, Seoul, and is currently working on a project with people and opportunities without a fixed nest. They prefer a variety of meetings that are not tied to genres and methods such as exhibitions, performances, performances and screening.

Ota Haruka
He majored in architecture at Musashino University. For him, architecture is a human-made fiction. The fiction is completed by slowly becoming an entity in time and acquiring its own characteristics at the last moment. From that point of view, architecture is a process of transition from fiction to reality His work mainly begins with an architectural model and visualizes the boundaries between reality and imagination, inside and outside, and between them. By creating an ambiguous space in a way that cloud both sides, we want to confront the current era in which ideas become more fixed and confrontation becomes more entrenched.

Yoo Han Sol
He graduated from the Department of Dance Creation at the Korea National University of Arts. He was part of Ex Nihilo Project Group in France between 2010 and 2013, a guest dancer with the JOGja International Performing Arts Festival in Indonesia in 2015 and a dancer with the high Seoul Festival’s invitation film "B Reality." In 2016, he collaborated with installation artists at the Seoul Street Art Creation Center to choreograph two works of "Mansa’s Travels in Seoul." In 2017, the improvised performance group "Seoul Power" was founded and the series "City Users" was planned and showcased at Cial Collective and Yeonhui-dong Art Fair. In 2018, he performed the first anniversary of the opening of the Elephant Space, a garden of guilt and an opening performance, The Garden Booklet.

Team Löhde
Team Löhde works by installing multiple media, including sound objects and images. He is particularly interested in the musical preservation of information as much as in history, historical events, and reproduction. To this end, he borrows a structure from music to enhance the possibility of simultaneous narratives or the experience of everyday objects combined with sound narratives. He seeks an artistic way to experience the audiovisual and visual archiving process.
