2017 KCCUK Open Call I (Yeji Kim)

27 Feb-18 Mar 2017

Overview

'CHILDREN SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS' As the winner of the 2017 KCCUK Open Call, Yeji Kim will present her first ever solo show entitled 'Children Should Not Play With Dead Things' in the UK where she will utilise the space with her 2 dimensional paintings which are each a metaphor for 3 dimensional realities. She will exhibit a series of paintings which explore a sense of the virtual world, inspired by the flatness of images found on social media platforms such as Instagram and the like. The KCCUK Open Call is an exhibition programme at the Korean Cultural Centre UK that provides a springboard within the UK’s competitive art scene for emerging artists of Korean origin. This annual programme is open to various forms of creative artistic expression and communication and through individual and collaborative works attempts to heighten the attention drawn to UK-based Korean artists.
