Yongin Park Premium Bonandang Honor Stone announced on the 23rd that it will be holding a solo exhibition titled ‘The Gift’ by photographer and conceptual artist Kyungwoo Cheon.
This exhibition will be held for approximately six months from the 24th of this month to January 31st of next year at the 1st floor gallery of Honor Stone. Hosted by Honor Stone and planned by the contemporary art planning office Sum Project, this event is the first project of Honor Stone’s new cultural business, and will provide an emotional experience for those who wish to commemorate the memories of the deceased through art.
Artist Kyungwoo Chun is an internationally recognized artist whose works are collected in major art museums around the world, and is currently a professor of photography at Chung-Ang University. Since the mid-1990s, he has been reexamining emotions and memories from a new perspective through experimental photography, performance, and public art works. This exhibition is highly anticipated as a special opportunity to experience Kyungwoo Chun’s artistic world firsthand, and two major works, ‘The Gift’ and ‘Facing’, will be unveiled.
‘The Gift’ is a performance and installation work that involves creating ceramic objects with 200 participants who have loved ones in Honor Stone. Participants will express their embrace of others by leaving their handprints on the white porcelain clay, and these objects will be displayed as works of art in the exhibition hall.
‘Encounter’ is an installation work composed of chairs of different sizes, designed to allow viewers to sit on the chairs and reflect on their memories and emotions. This work provides a special moment of confrontation with one’s past self or others, and induces deep inner reflection.
The exhibition organizers said, “This exhibition aims to provide visitors with an opportunity to explore their emotions in a new way by sublimating memories of the deceased into art,” adding, “We hope that many people will have a special experience where art and remembrance come together through this exhibition.”
Meanwhile, Yongin Park Premium Bongandang Honor Stone has been hosting various events every year since last year’s memorial concert, growing beyond a space of remembrance into a complex cultural space where culture and art coexist.
