			From March 13 to May 4, 2019, Baek Jeong-ki will hold the "Contact Juk Sul" exhibition. Baek Jeong-gi presents a more mature work style and expanded recognition world at the exhibition, which will be held in four years by a writer who has repeatedly been selected for the National Museum of Contemporary Art's Young Search (2013) and the Samsung Museum's Art Spectrum (2016). 

The exhibition name "Contagious Magic" refers to the principle that contact with something can affect each other even after separation, and a similar form of magic is found all over the world. For example, a common belief that a lover's things are in contact with him or that a doll with someone's hair can place an order on the other person. Baek Jeong-gi expands the concept of "contact magic" and develops into a bold art form the idea that even in a time-space separated world, invisible forces interact with each other.

His artistic proposal, which sought danbi through "Giuje" in a dry world, is further developed with understanding and application of traditional architecture, and will be presented in the works of <Purpose> (2019) and <Chimhodu> (2019) using 3D printed objects and metal pipes, and will extend to the architectural structure. This work, which transforms the art museum into a magical and magical symbolic space, is a work that highlights the writer's efforts to explore the cultural assets of various parts of the country and to study the decoration of traditional architecture and modernize it, giving a glimpse of the writer's continuing interest. 

In addition, <Materialia Medica: Cinis> (2017), the first installation in Korea, shows the process of grinding, diluting, and refining the debris collected by the author directly at the scene of the fire and turning it into a cure. Based on Admiral Yi's homeopathic principle of treating poison with poison, the author shows a healing attitude that not only causes physical pain but also causes mental injury by facing the wound in person.
