Exhibition Detail
Fantasia of the Archives summons six artists from the SeMA collection, including KWAK Namsin, SON Kwang-Ju, YOON Kalim, LEE Kyojun, IM Sunyi, and CHUN Kook-kwang. It unfolds the record of the past, the voice of the present, and the imagination that lies in the future. Across various media such as painting, video, photography, and sculpture, the artists project their unique worldviews into their works that sit on the boundaries and interstices of the past and present, the real and the illusory, abstraction and figuration. Here, the archive will lead audiences to a creative universe of each artist. The exhibition examines the original context of the works by connecting the gaze and time of the artists with those of the audiences. Fantasia of the Archives does not attempt to re-contextualize the collection. Instead, it aims to connect each artwork with its original context. Reading the archive in conjunction with the SeMA collection will offer a chance to re-explore the artistic context and expand its meaning to a new realm.
