Kim Kim Gallery is pleased to announce the fourth exhibition, , a solo exhibition of Chung, Seoyoung from 1st to 30rd of June, 2011 at Hyundai Cultural Center in Seoul, Korea.

KIM KIM GALLERY was founded by Gregory Maass and Nayoungim on the occasion of a solo-show at the Market Gallery in Glasgow, Scotland in 2008. Kim Kim Gallery is a locative artwork, which parasites on existing exhibition spaces, ranging from museums and galleries to model apartments and art fair stands. Kim Kim Gallery´s methods of mad marketing, and activity of displaying, production, and acquisition of art are considered individual forms of artistic expressions by the owners. The objective of this work is to show flexible alternatives to the common ways to propagate art and to become object of a discussion.

The second KIM KIM GALLERY took place at Ro-bert™ in Berlin, Germany and the third at Gallery Shilla, Deagu, Korea.

Chung Seoyoung is one of the most important artists of her generation in Korea.
Major shows include a solo-exhibition at Artsonje Center, Seoul (2000), a group-exhibition at the Korean Pavilion, Venice Biennale (2003), a solo-exhibition at Atelier Hermès, Seoul (2007) and the Gwangju Biennale (2008).

Hyundai Group was founded as a construction company, which rapidly achieved legendary status. These legendary times staid alive in the second sublevel of the Hyundai Cultural Center in Seoul, where KIM KIM GALLERY occupies two model apartments from the early 90s. Chung Seoyoung and KIM KIM GALLERY have different history and needs, which build a potentialization of the creative output in these premises from another époque.
Chung Seoyoung works pragmatically and humorously with the grotesque choices in daily modern life. The title “Apple vs. Banana” derives from the common dietary choice of fibre or carbohydrate, one of the endless ironies in modern life. What´s better? Both are the best.

In this show Chung Seoyoung accentuates the bland, taking away the details and leaving less than more, producing a range of sober, pure and obviously inexpressive works of art. She displays tables, a lightbulb, a kitchenet, an aquarium, a spot, and snowballs, not too prominently exhibited but important reference points. Chung Seoyoung built artworks constructing an infrastructure of logic.

In occasion of the exhibition, Kang Sumi, art critic will give a lecture about her latest publication following with a monodrama conceptualized by Chung Seoyoung on 8th of June 7pm.
