Exhibition Information

			This exhibition focuses on the portraits of the Busan Museum of Art from around the 2000s. The figure of "Human" in the work is an "speaker" who reflects the artist's worldview and the situation and expression of the times. Modern artists, the world seen by humans, are filled with consumerism, spaces of power and institutions, ideologies, and fierce daily life, and the human beings in them are expressed in artist-specific ways in the form of human nature recovery, realization of desire, division, alienation and struggle. Therefore, we want to show how humans in contemporary contemporary art reveal, resist and hope for the world.

The exhibition consisted of three themes. The first shows the change of subject awareness and status in the self-portraits of contemporary artists, and shows what the artist wants to say to the world. This is because the flow of the subject's perception, which is revealed in personification, reflects not only the inner world but also the culture and social customs. 

Second, human beings are perceived as a part of the social system and are alienated. He seems to feel divided. This is a human figure agonizing over existential questions within today's diversified and advanced media information society. 

Finally, it shows humans moving forward recognizing unreasonable systems and absurdities. If human history is a series of consequences resulting from invisible or invisible struggles, artists are seismometers that detect them. 

Each theme is represented by the Ki Hyeong-do poet's 'poetry' of deformed characters who secretly play fiction and tragic romance. The title of the exhibition is also the language of him. Poetry is rather than an art that can reach its essence by not describing everything. We hope that the meeting between poetry and art and other genres will be an exhibition that will shake each other and open a new world. 

The world is constantly rich and wobbly, but we are alive. Through this exhibition, I would like to sing "All of Us Were Great Loners" as Ki Hyeong-do's poem phrase.
