Professor
Kim Yeon-Yong of the School of Visual Arts Takes Charge of Planning the
Exhibition The Grey of Jihye
Professor Kim Yeon-Yong planned the exhibition The Grey of Jihye which would be held from June 6th to September 1st, 2019 at White Block Art Center in Paju City.
The Grey of Jihye introduces the works by five artists – Kang
Seok-ho, Kim Suyoung, Roh Choonghyun, Sunny Kim, Leeje – which presents the
prospect that goes beyond the visualization. From this aspect, the exhibition
ultimately explores the practices of contemporary Korean art. Professor Kim
comments that the exhibition digs into the chaos, connection with erratic
meanings, or sensual solidarity without purpose through different grey colors
while the grey is a signifier the artists share to express how they view their
world. Professor Kim said that the exhibition would guide the viewers to
welcome the world of the abundant grey spectrum by calling attention to aesthetic
practices focused on the middle layer which was never captured by verbal
thinking.
