Muan - gun Oh Seung-woo Art Museum will hold a post-memory exhibition from the 13th to December 14th with the theme of ‘ Memory Sees Me ’ .
Postmemory is a phenomenon whereby generations who did not directly experience historical events trace and reconstruct forgotten histories from previous generations and reflect on their meaning. It plays a crucial role in shaping historical memory and new ethical thinking in contemporary society. This exhibition will explore how contemporary artists summon and remember individual and collective histories into the present.
This exhibition invites artists Keum Hye-won , Kim Seol-ah , Na Hyun , Lee Se-hyun , and Im Heung -soon from Korea, and Arif Budiman and Mariyanto from Indonesia, to examine how contemporary archival art trends in Korea and Southeast Asia, which began to emerge after 2000, have developed. Through archival art in various media such as painting , photography , installation, video, and film, past memories are brought back to the present, allowing for deep reflection .
Jae-kyung Heo, head of the Culture and Arts Department, said, “ We can reconstruct past memories from a present-day perspective and examine how the current generation inherits and reinterprets them through works in various media . ”
