Bomin Kim - The Settlement 

doART Gallery 2006.12

First, let us visit the studio in <Open Studio (2004)>. There is a desk. A pile of two books and an open one are on the desk. And a chair is laid askew. These things are described with lines as Kim BoMin has usually done in her earlier works. Of course, she did not draw the lines. She attached the line tape. All these things are covered with a kind of fog of Korean ink which is emitted from the cotton cloth.

Savina Museum of Contemporary Art 2004.10

We define monotonous, flat, and repetitive phenomena as 'everyday routine'. Yoo Geun-Taek's brush and its dependency on 'everyday routine' has been a consistent discourse. However, it seems little difficult to define his recent painting within the frame of 'everyday routine'. His new series goes beyond routine subjects and tries to make a resonance between scenes and events.

Mioon - Aside of Audiece

The audiences cannot face each other. Their eyes may meet by chance, but in that moment they avert their eyes, relying on their visual systems. If two people are facing each other, one of them is not a spectator, but one may be a performer acting out the role of the audience. Let’s talk about the moment when this natural assumption turns out to be wrong.

Bomin Kim - Diary of Drifting 

Cais Gallery 2010.03

Map is a portrait of the earth and also a face of human beings. Composed of signs and abbreviations, it shows a miniature of the world and gives a sense of the way we interpret the world at the same time. Map, Like painting, is a falsity based on reality and an attempt to revive what is fundamentally impossible to revive. That's how the map of actual size emerges, as in the Borges's novel which becomes a conventional analogy.

Jinnie Seo - RED CHAMBER 

Brain Factory 2004.02

Seo's work is characterized by strong linear draughtsmanship, subtle but rich colors and a highly personalized conceptual framework that examines the cultural landscape of U.S. and Korea and the predicament of the individual within those cultures.
