Art & Synesthesia
2009. 03. 18. ~ 2009. 06. 07.
1F Main Building, Seoul Museum of Art

Art & Synesthesia is an art exhibition presenting an overview of synesthetic tendencies in contemporary art. With it we shed light on how the five senses are represented in artwork, and how they work at the source of an artist’s imagination. The exhibition is in two main sections:

First, Sensory Illusions, displaying works of art that bring about sensuous transitions and associations.

Second, Multiple Sense: Crossing and Blending, composed of pieces arousing fresh aesthetic experience through stimulation of the senses hearing, touch, smell, and taste, and the sense of sight, regarded as perhaps the most fundamental element of visual art.

With Art & Synesthesia we aim to provide viewers opportunities to feel and experience artworks in a new context, and broaden the scope of their thinking, away from the fixed notion, works of art are merely for ‘seeing’.

'A daydream' Lee Jung Woong solo painting exhibition, Artspace Hue, Hongdae, Seoul til Mar 27

LEE JUNG WOONG’s first solo exhibition, ‘a daydream’ will be held at Artspace Hue until 27th of March. This show presents a wide spectrum of the artist's phases of past experiences which have greatly impacted in all elements of life like ‘love’, ‘memory’, ‘a sense of alienation’, and ‘solitude’. These themes are re-organized in painting by Lee and will be shown in this exhibition.

Exhibition - Michael Craig-Martin- PKM Trinity Gallery, Seoul - February 26 - March 31, 2009

Irish artist, Michael Craig-Martin is having a solo exhibition of paintings at PKM gallery in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul. The works are seemingly simple, colorful images of everyday objects, in what one might call a 'pop' art style. Craig-Martin doesn't call himself a pop artist but he acknowledges the irony that his paintings look mass produced, when in fact they entail a lot of work. First, he sketches his ideas on paper, then finalizes it on a computer. The image is then projected on a canvas, where he uses black tape to outline the image. He uses layers of color paint, without mixing or diluting it.

Craig-Martin, who has a bachelor's and master's degree in Fine Art from Yale University, is widely considered as the "godfather'' of the Young British Artists.' The YBAs were a group of rising artists that included Damien Hirst, Sarah Lucas and Gary Hume, most of whom studied under Craig-Martin at the Goldsmiths College in London between 1994 and 2000.

"I never wanted students to make works that look like my work. But I did want to influence what they thought about art. I thought that the center of each artist's work is his own ability and character. Very often students have little confidence.
I tried to encourage them. … I found most interesting were students with little talent but enormous desire to be an artist. To be an artist, they had to find something inside themselves to be their art,'' he said.

To get to the exhibition, get off Apgujeong Station Subway Line 3, Exit 2. PKM Trinity Gallery is located near the Galleria Luxury Hall.
