PEACEMINUSONE

Went to G-Dragon's PEACEMINUSONE exhibition today at Seoul Museum of Art. A little background about the exhibition: 

"The exhibition name, 'PEACEMINUSONE' is another name for the world which G-Dragon perceives and imagines. It reflects the human form and the world which lacks something while it also pursues a peaceful ideal utopia as the word 'Peace' implies. G-Dragon's music reflects the themes of reality and the virtual world with their contractions and overlaps. In this exhibition, G-Dragon exhibits that world together with artists that represent each genre of Korean contemporary art." (Source: PEACEMINUSONE website)

I rented the audio guide and it's definitely more interesting to know the story behind the artworks. There are a mix of artworks that GD collaborated with different artists and some of the pieces that appear on Big Bang's music videos. The exhibition will be on display until August 23. 

p.s: Any G-Dragon fans out there?

Gentle Monster Merry Go Round

Passed by Gentle Monster the other day and saw this new installation in their exhibition space. Gentle Monster is probably one of the fascinating shops I've ever been to. They use their space as a shop as well as collaborating with the Quantum Project to host art exhibitions. I don't really know much about the space, but according to their website: 

"The Quantum Project presents a new evolution of commercial space by creating fast space that is redesigned every 25 days through collaborations with an extensive range of artists and brands." 

... and this is their 16th Quantum Project—Merry Go Round. 

"A merry-go-round depicts the nostalgia and novelty of childhood, nestled in the back of our mind. The main stage, surrounded by remains of a broken sculpture, is spinning around and around creating a truly surreal vibe: Candies are overflowing in the objects at the ring of the merry-go-round, presenting you with sweet amusement."

The exhibition will be on display from March 3 to 30. If you happen to be in Hongdae/Hapjeong neighborhood and wanna see something interesting, you should definitely visit this place. And you could get free candies too (yes, you can scoop them yourselves and take them home).
