HUG - Hyemin Park + Enoch Cheung

Monday, Feb 22, 2010 8:50AM / Standard Entry

HUG - Hyemin Park + Enoch Cheung

The project is a collaboration by Hyemin and Enoch. Hug performances were held in London and Seoul. The project started from the day Hyemin left London (14 Jan 2010), she hugged everyone who she talked with such as a cashier, a shop keeper, inspectors on bus etc. As an observer Enoch responds the performances.

Hyemin's recent works attempt to relate to public, Enoch responds her performance, especially 'Hug project', in his own aesthetic way. This exhibition is a dialogue between two artists.

Listing of the show I've been visited - Part 1

Monday, Nov 30, 2009 12:01AM / Standard Entry

No matter what, I'm one of the laziest blogger in the world...

It's time to organize my life for a while. I've hundreds of exhibition pamphlet and movie/performance... which I've been visited/watched, started from about a year ago. Surely that I can't archive them all, the best way is listing it out, share to people or just for my reminder...

Archiving is really boring 'job' for me, but once I can associate them all with my memory, it would be a quite good reference for contemporary art research from 2008-09...

No chronological order (kill me if I have to do so), just record it s
No sure about URL link, as you know about web... anyway, just for a quick reference!

OK, hope I can keep updating, from Part 1 to unknown!

Exhibition
Calling out of context / ICA / 14-22 Nov 2009 - experimental music and sound festival
Poor. Old. Tired. Horse. / ICA / 17 Jun -23 Aug 2009 - text-based art practices

This year I like the guest curated exhibitions, esp. one of the video artist was filming the same subjects with my project, an abandon hospital, but using totally different approach. I know the director visited my show or know my work, but we don't have chance to talk to each other... it may be fun:)
