			The People's World, From Tradition To The Present
The theme of everyday art has been developed in various ways in the course of the development of modern art. The slogan that our lives can be artistic in themselves and that we can lead our own artistic lives is now more of a cliche than a revolutionary one. However, as a new rule on artistic creation, "The Dailyization of Art" needs to be understood as an artistic aspect of contemporary society's changing times beyond the appearance of everyday individuals as artistic subjects. There's no place around here that doesn't have the word "art." Just like the barcode of a product, the essential properties of words, status, name, object are destroyed and exist as a single code. What is art and what can it do in a time when human beings have basically disappeared from material affluence, in a time when human life has become a consumer, in a climate problem that threatens modern cities, in a rapidly spreading sense of insecurity through rapid change?

It is debatable to reveal social contradictions, and to reveal social reality within such contradictory relationships. Thus, if art functioned as a "harm" to the aesthetic consensus of the masses in most urban spaces, in Damyang, art works are trying to grow step by step, ensuring autonomy from the masses, the coffins and the spheres. To this end, the exhibition aims to approach the social changes through various artistic forms.

Traditionally in Korean society, folktales have a modern sense of unconventional humor and freewheeling expression. Kim Ji-sook and Moon Seon-yeong, reflecting the three-fill, object analysis, and traditional meanings of traditional folktales, spread the world of folklore in their respective eyes. In the world of Kim Ji-sook's works focusing on the culture of the palace, Moon Seon-yeong intersects the traditional meaning of folk paintings (hopes, happiness, and so on) in everyday life (home, dream). Each of the different ways of working on his canvas will be presented in a collaborative effort in everyday space to face reality, discuss things, and derive different ways of thinking.

Street artist Junkhaus (Korea) expresses human and natural problems through organicization of objects through the shapes of humans, nature and animals, organic relationships between living and non-living, and color relationships between space and environment. Storms have evolved graffiti lighting to create a biometric series of geometric and abstract shapes. The free movement of fish and the feast of birds are the essential attributes of what he observes in life.

Kang Dong-ho's work, "The World of Conversation," shows the world of imagination based on hybridity. His pictorial sensibility, which contains meaning that can be expressed when his imagination is combined with reality, leads us to a huge canvas. His experimental work in a new space will provide a glimpse of the full extent of his artistic quest to venture forward without being afraid of unfamiliar surroundings and experimental tools.

Finally, Park Sang-hwa (media) creates a natural scene surrounding Damyang in a part of the archive of Haedong Jujang. Recall and reconstruct the images of the life and joys and sorrows of the ancestors who worked in Damyang's landscape. Through his work, we will be able to look back on the relationship of 'Korean' culture from the human-social relationship that we have lost today.

The works of art in this exhibition are divided into several sections, and the beginning and end of the exhibition are irregular. The uncomfortable crowd movement demands the patience of time to face the work, and faces the 'situation' that new people entering Damyang Village will experience in their relationships with others. When humans are in such a 'situation,' they will be able to carve out a path toward the everyday life of art by stimulating their imagination in a unique and obscure way. The only way that we constantly argue and bring up critical reasons is to show that our thinking is alive. An artist should be free to expose and accuse all existing order systems of suppressing and destroying human values, and to reveal the reverse side of reality. You will be able to meet Damyang as a place to give freedom to the everyday, imaginative space where these arts work together.
