Exhibitions 《Myth, Representation of the Era》, 2022.04.08 – 2022.04.26, Artertain Before written history, the birth of a nation was often mythologized through stories that carried the desires, hopes, and survival instincts of the era. And within these myths, transformation is always present. In essence, for a new polity to emerge, something of the old had to shift. The newly formed state then needed a narrative that could encourage its people and affirm their will to live well. 2022.04.08

His paintings recombine fragments of images extracted from mass media, strategically disrupting the viewer’s habitual sensory framework. Visual elements appro 2025
Criticisms Between the Fascination of Metamorphosis and the Drift of Imagery A single phrase, like a single photogram, must be capable of delivering a rich range of visual stimuli within an unceasing flow of motion. (…) Every verb on every page appears in the present tense, as if all events were unfolding right before our eyes. New incidents rush in, and all distance between one and the next collapses into immediacy. 2025.05.20
Statements Same=Different This work uses the phonetic and cosmological principles of Hangul’s invention, and its process of development into a global writing system through discrimination, contempt, hardship, and overcoming since its creation in the fifteenth century, together with Koi’s Law, which states that the size of an individual is determined by its environment, to show—through a found-footage technique—why Hangul has come to be positioned within global culture at this moment. 2020
Criticisms Flowing Memory: An Alternative Language on Disciplined Creativity The fluttering silver foil you are looking at is a “troublesome meta-material” completely detached from the traditional solidity of canvas or hanji. In this exhibition, Park situates these chaotic, sensorial works within the mutable conditions of an alternative space in Mullae-dong. Interpreting concealed structures of power through an uncanny sensibility, the works unsettle our habituated, disciplined mode 2019.09.20
