We Used to Be Fish
Gahee Park’s We Used to be Fish will be running from October 31st, 2019 to December 28th, 2019 at the Perrotin Gallery (1F 5 Palpan-Gil, Jongno-Gu, Seoul).
In an era where technology has enabled vast new networks of connection, these means of communication are—more-often-thannot—unreliant on physical presence and touch. Our own time could easily be described as a paradoxical heightening of connection and isolation in equal measure. In this exhibition, Park’s work is notable for her celebration of a slower and more personal sense of bonding. Comprised of paintings and drawings depicting intimacy within domestic scenes, Park’s sensual visions are profoundly personal ones.

Jaime Hayon: Serious Fun
A fun, whimsical art exhibition by Jaime Hayon held at Daelim Museum (21, Jahamun-ro 4-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul). Available until December 29, 2019.
In Jaime Hayon’s world, the objects have souls and forevermore speak to us through their own visual language. Through them, we are reminded of imaginary friends from childhood who once kept our side and spoke to our inner soul. Growing up and being submerged in reality perhaps we have forgotten our soul mates and inevitably neglected their stories. 《Jaime Hayon: Serious Fun》 recalls our imaginary friend, who has long waited to be remembered, and rekindles fantasy in our daily lives in bringing happiness and joy.

Beautiful. Strange. Dirty.
Beautiful. Strange. Dirty. by Sungsic Moon is available at Kukje Gallery (54 Samcheong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul 03053) from November 28th, 2019 to December 31st, 2019.
[Beautiful. Strange. Dirty.] highlights the artist’s delicate balance of line and color, as well as his signature use of traditional Korean painting genres, especially landscapes and still life. Celebrated for his unique style and the way he incorporates Eastern and Western drawing traditions, the new works explore Moon’s interest in the subject of “attraction” and how it defines the relationship between autonomous subjects. This approach to drawing captures this synergy by focusing on themes including people, insects, and plants, using a range of mediums such as gouache, oil paint, gesso, and pencil.– Kukje Gallery

Tomás Saraceno
Tomás Saraceno’s exhibition will be on view from October 30th, 2019 to December 8th, 2019 at Gallery Hyundai (14 Samcheong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul 110-190 Korea).
Tomás Saraceno(b.1973)’s practice is elevated by the concepts linking art, life science and social sciences. Enmeshed at the junction of these worlds, his floating sculptures, community projects and interactive installations propose and explore new, sustainable ways of inhabiting and sensing the environment. The artist, concerned with climate change and other environmental issues, unfolds his own vision of the attainable utopia, where humans, nonhumans and other organisms can co-inhabit on the Earth. This first solo exhibition presented at Gallery Hyundai offers the viewers practical and multi-layered perspectives in approaching Saraceno’s poetic yet radical art world.
