📍해당 작품은 ACC 5관에서 관람하실 수 있습니다.
This artwork is exhibited at ACC Creation space 5.

✔️‹이중 만남›, 2009, 자수, 280 x 800 cm
이번 전시에서 함께 소개되는 그의 자수 작품 ‹이중 만남›은 작가가 도시의 기념물에서 흔히 볼 수 있는 역사적 인물들의 얼굴과 다른 매체나 거리 등에서 만나볼 수 있는 수많은 일반 시민들의 얼굴을 모아 만든 작품이다. 한편 이 형체들의 그림자는 벽에 비춰져 관람객들의 몸과 겹쳐지게 된다. 이 작품을 통해 작가는 역사적 기념물로 표현되는 권력 구조를 해체하고 한국의 사회질서와 표현 방식에 의문을 제기하면서 서로 다른 시간의 중첩을 시도한다. 작가는 또한 봉제와 자수를 통해 핵심적이지만 종종 간과되는 한국의 경제 활동을 반추한다.

✔️Double Encounter, 2009, embroidery, 280 x 800 cm
The exhibition features her embroidery piece Double Encounter, in which the artist has fused together a multitude of faces: those of historical characters usually represented in monuments around the city, as well as those of individuals found on the streets and a range of social and prinㅛㅛ₩ㅁ4t media. In the space of the exhibition, these figures reflect their shadows on the walls, overlapping with the bodies of the visitors. In this work, Hong plays with the overlay of times, undoing the construction of hierarchies represented by historical monuments, and questioning the mechanisms of representation and social order of Korean society. In addition, Hong draws on sewing and embroidery as a way to reflect on this central but often overlooked activity of South Korea’s economy.

✔️Forgetting Machines, 2006–20, archival pigment prints, variable dimensions
Originally shown at Roundtable, 9th Gwangju Biennale, in 2012, Forgetting Machines presents re-photographed funerary portraits found on the tombs of those who died during the May 18 Movement, in Gwangju’s old cemetery. Such portraits are often kept outdoors in glass boxes, and have been damaged by the weather over time. The tombs are those of victims killed by soldiers during the uprising, whose remains were temporarily buried while the uprising was still unfolding. Forgetting Machines functions as an assemblage of imagery that questions what is forgotten and remembered in the processes of memorialization and commemoration.

✔️<The 49th Hexagram, 2020, 2-channel video on 2 screens, 5-channel sound, Commissioned by Gwangju Biennale Foundation

In this work, the artist considers the significance of the Democratic Movement in Gwangju against the backdrop of the numerous uprisings that recurred throughout the last century of Korean history. Using film stills from the many South Korean movies that depicted these uprisings, Ho assembled a set of storyboards—a sequence of illustrations for the purpose of pre-visualizing an animation film. In the meantime, South Korean artists and musicians Bek Hyunjin and Park Minhee produced two vocal renditions of the forty-ninth Hexagram.

The Unheroed Theater (Character Studies with Gwangdae, Shinmyoung, Tobaki, the Fictitious Aseupalteu) is a collaboration between Ei Arakawa and Inza Lim. The work focuses on the history of theater in Gwangju in the 1980s, when artistic activities were suppressed by the grand sweep of sociopolitical history. When first conceived for the tenth Gwangju Biennale, Arakawa and Lim’s work included an imaginary theater group, the Fictitious Aseupalteu, which also dates from the 1980s. Inspired by both the stories and the female protagonists created by Shinmyoung and Tobaki the artists conjure an alternative narrative.

The two human rights organizations keep the memory of these tragic events alive.

[Exhibition Diary] MaytoDay: Gwangju, 14 October - 29 November 2020
-
May 18, 1980: a date etched into the South Korean consciousness that serves as a reminder of the Gwangju Uprising, which sparked the country’s democratization movement. “MaytoDay” is a year-long project that mounts exhibitions in Seoul, Gwangju, Taipei, Buenos Aires, Cologne and Venice, each reflecting on the legacy of pro-democracy movements and the role of civil resistance in effecting political change, forging a sense of solidarity between distinct cultures and histories in tribute to the ‘spirit of Gwangju.’
-
The current “MaytoDay” exhibition in Gwangju brings together works from the Seoul, Taipei, Buenos Aires and Cologne exhibitions under a single roof at the Asia Culture Center (ACC). The exhibition also utilizes the former Armed Forces’ Gwangju Hospital, a site imbued with painful memories from the Gwangju Uprising. Newly commissioned works by Chiharu Shiota and Ho Tzu Nyen activate spaces within this abandoned and historical site, where they appear alongside extant installations by Kader Attia and Mike Nelson.

The exhibition also presents “Woodcut Prints in the 1980s: A Testimony of Resistance, A Memory of Movement,” which introduces a rich collection of woodcut prints by over forty artists and collectives across Korea since 1980. Installed at Mugak Temple, these works highlight the important role of artists in resisting the military dictatorship and promoting the democratization movement under the government’s oppressive control.

💡《메이투데이》의 서울전시, 《민주주의의 봄》은 지난 6월 3일부터 7월 5일까지 아트선재센터에서 열렸습니다. 지난 전시의 영상을 공개합니다.
🕐《메이투데이》는 제목이 시사하듯 5월(May)의 일상성(day)을 이야기하고 그 시점을 현재(today)로 되돌린다. 지난 25년 동안 축적되어온 광주비엔날레의 역사와 기록을 현재의 시점에서 재맥락화하고, 이를 전시를 통해 다른 지역, 다른 나라의 민주화 운동과 연결 짓고자 합니다.

💡𝙎𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙛 𝘿𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙘𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙮, the Seoul edition of 𝙈𝙖𝙮𝙩𝙤𝘿𝙖𝙮 was held from June 3 to July 5 at Art Sonje Center. We hope you enjoy this video clip.
🕐As the project title implies, 𝙈𝙖𝙮𝙩𝙤𝘿𝙖𝙮 aims to draw attention to the lasting effects, everydayness, and micro-histories of the May 18 spirit, and seeks to situate the discourse amid us living today. Examining the 25 years of Gwangju Biennale’s history and archives in current perspective, 𝙈𝙖𝙮𝙩𝙤𝘿𝙖𝙮 attempts to connect other region and other countries’ democratization movements through exhibitions.

“광주를 넘어 국제적 맥락 속에서 5·18정신을 조명하기 위해 서울과 대만 타이베이, 독일 쾰른 등지에서 진행된 전시가 1년여 순항 끝에 광주로 다시 모였다. 사적23호인 옛 국군광주병원, 국립아시아문화전당 내 문화창조원 복합5관, 민주평화기념관 3관 등지에서 오는 11월 29일까지 전시한다. 지난 5월 개막할 예정이던 베니스 비엔날레 특별전과 아르헨티나 부에노스아이레서에서의 전시가 코로나 여파로 내년으로 미뤄졌으니 ‘미리 보는’ 자리이기도 하다. 비엔날레는 연기됐지만 특별전 만으로도 비엔날레 못지않은 볼거리와 생각거리가 넘쳐난다.”

Chien-hung Huang, curator of 𝙈𝙖𝙮𝙩𝙤𝘿𝙖𝙮’s Taipei edition was inspired by the operation of solidarities that characterized both Taiwan’s democratization movement in the 1970s and the 1980 Gwangju Movement, and curated 𝙈𝙖𝙮 𝘾𝙤-𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙪𝙨: 𝘿𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝙞𝙣 𝘿𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙘𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙮, an exhibition mounted at Taipei’s Kuandu Museum of Fine Art. The exhibition re-examined Korea and Taiwan’s democratization movements by connecting them to Hong Kong’s current situation. Restaged in Gwangju, Huang’s curation includes works by Asian artists that explore how fluid solidarities and multi-layered bonds of sympathy are produced in on- and offline spaces.
