Description:
Timmy Graham from USA explores the "Fourth Dimensionalism" in his oil paintings
and two Norwegian artists, Anna Daniell & Sverre Strandberg, parodies commercial contemporary
art scene through their installation work. In addition, it shows that the Korean Youngkyun Kim
develops his idea of individual who cannot help but conforming to the huge power of social system
in his photographs. These artists are short-term resident artists in the 7th residency program
2008-2009 of National Art Studio. This exhibition shows the fruits of art works created by resident
artists during residency period and short-term artists of Changdong art studio stay at the studio for
three months.

*Timmy Graham creates a new concept of "Fourth Dimensionalism" and tries to apply to oil
paintings. What is Fouth Dimensionalism? According to this artist, it is the use of actual spatial
elements for the sole purpose of creating visual imagery. Graham approaches colors scientifically,
the way a mathematician approaches numbers on the number line.

*Anna Daniell & Sverre Strandberg shows the installation "We're Only In For The Money." Two artists
assembles daily necessaries unused for arts and art materials and make a kind of sculpture. Then they
take a photography of it and displays the black/white photos with expensive wooden frame.

*Youngkyun Kim, his story begins at "the report of change of individual attitude in emotion that one
copes with social or individual obsession." Viewers can read in his photographs individuals
expressed as 'distorted self-portrait (illusion)', which means the will to try to free oneself from the
obsessive reality.
