Yeondoo Jung is currently participating in a group exhibition that is taking a place in Stuttgart, Germany. The exhibition approaches the imaginaries, representations, and realities of the city from different directions: from the angle of architectural and urban constructions of the 1930s through today; from Europe, the USA, South America, and Asia; from the perspectives of art, exhibition, pop, and protest cultures from the 70s.
Along an open parcourse, which connects exterior and interior space, the exhibition presents the works of over 20 artists who have honed in on the urban-development, social, political, and economic lines of conflict within the city. Their works touch upon historical documents and objects from pop-and sub-culture contexts. Presented are not only existing works, but also those conceptualized specially for this setting.
In Evergreen Tower(2001), Yeondoo Jung took portraits of 32 families in their apartments, all situated in the same residential block in Seoul and all with the same floor plan. Within a standarized living setting, one can see that each family is framed by their unique furnishing.
