The Opening Project

: A closer look at exhibitions in New York featuring imported Korean art and Korean art world in New York

 
In the Opening Project, SoYoun Jeong presents videos she look at openings of Korea-related exhibitions held in New York, while living there several years ago. The shows are largely divided into two categories: the first is exhibitions presented by the New York-based Korean galleries and the second is exhibitions presented by Korean galleries directly. New York-based Korean artists come to have more complicated political and physical layers as a result of these processes. SoYoun Jeong, who was active in Korea and later moved to United States, encapsulates such phenomena in her video work from her own distinct angle. This project can be referred to as a type of ecological report on artists as social beings in a specific time and space and will be continued during her stay in New York.
