			We are please to announce that our first exhibition after relocation of the gallery to Samcheong-dong area will be opened 21 October. Participating artists are Noh-Wan Park, Shin Young Park, Lee Dong Hyuk, and Hyun Nahm. 

An encounter with certain scenes in the works of the four artists provoked the idea of this exhibition. Objects, the original form of which is unfathomable, and the ‘scenes’ that they constitute. ‘Scene’ in this exhibition is interpreted as follows;

"By definition, ‘scene’ means ‘any view or situation where some action or event occurs,’ which is distinguished from ‘landscape.’ While ‘landscape’ is a value-neutral term referring to the ‘natural or original scenery,’ ‘scene’ implies a specific incident or the view of something that one paid attention, either consciously or unconsciously."

What did the artist see? What was the artist’s attitude like towards the object and sight before him/her? Among the many tools inside them , which did the artist choose to adopt here?

Seeing accompanies perceiving and perceiving incites thinking. The interesting part here is that human ability to ‘see’ often fails to embrace the entirety of the object. It may enlarge a certain part and misinterpret it as the very essence or could muddle up with one’s memory, bias, wish and emotion, reconstructing the nature of the object. These result in a gap with the original being. This exhibition seeks to investigate the subjective and biased ‘seeing’ of the artists embodied (exposed) in their vivid visual manifestation. It confronts the object and sight the four artists explore, observes their attitude and examines the formative tool they use to bring into their work what they’ve seen. This offers a glimpse at the world they explore, peeking into the way they bend things and feel the shape or outline of the world as they perceive.
