			Doosan Gallery Seoul will hold <Private Song> by Mok Hong-kyun, the organizer selected for the 2020 exhibition planning contest, from July 22 to August 19, 2020. Doosan Gallery has supported three new curators every year through the Doosan Curator Workshop program since 2011, and from 2018, it will select one planner every other year to provide a venue for the realization of deeper and diverse ideas of domestic planners.

<Private Song I> was the background of the 2017 scandal that erupted through the Cassel Documenta and Venice Biennale. The two general directors invited their spouses and lovers to the exhibition as writers, and there was controversy over how to look at them. And Mok Hong-kyun says the scandal has led him to contemplate how the writer-planner's private relationship does not intervene in wartime. 

This exhibition focuses on the process and method of the planner's selection of the writer. The eight writers and five co-organizers participating in the exhibition selected Mok Hong-kyun with as much of his arbitrary intervention as possible in the selection process. First, three writers were selected through the Curatron (curatroneq.com) program using deep learning of algorithms, and the second selected two cooperative planners, not writers, in the same way as the first. Third, through the Doosan Gallery website and SNS, the company selected three additional cooperative planners. After each of the five selected co-organizers conducted author research, they finally selected five authors from each other's data, not from their own research data. 

Through this exhibition's selection of artists, the role of algorithms may simply be seen as replacing the role of exhibition planners. However, efforts not to intervene in the selection of writers have resulted in the openness and transparency of the selection process, giving us a visible indication of how the concerns surrounding the selection of writers worked throughout the project. 


Meanwhile, during the exhibition, the process will be revealed through sound cloud and YouTube channels to see how participating writers and co-organizers shared and studied each other.
