Exhibition Information

			Sungkok Art Museum has been operating the Sungkok Art Museum Open Call program to discover and support young artists and curators since 2021. This year, three artists were selected, Lee Eun, Lee Jinyoung, and Park Jaehoon. And to begin, Lee Eun's solo exhibition As You Wished Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo will be held.

Lee Eun (b.1995) is an artist interested in short-form content that symbolizes the transition from character-based communication to a digital native era and converts moving GIFs into painting media. It mainly focuses on hand-drawn-based 2D animations televised in the 2000s, starting with a nostalgia for the familiar popular culture that the artist, born at the end of the century, watched and grew up with as a child. The GIFs referenced by Lee Eun as the subject matter form a new meaning and context by reconstructing short and dramatic moments away from the original narrative, and Lee Eun's work of interpreting the GIFs into cinematic grammar such as editing, emphasizing, and omitting resembles the fragmentation of contemporary visual culture.
