"Essence of Absence" Exhibition
Gallery Korea
This event has ended.
The exhibition features a wide range of medium and techniques such as painting, photography, print, ceramic, sculpture and installations produced by the nine contemporary artists who were selected from Gallery Korea’s annual open call program ‘Call for Artists 2008.' "Essence of Absence," the fifth exhibition of a series, invites finalists to introduce their recent work. The dictionary meaning of ‘absence’ is the state of being away or the lack of something but artists use this in a way of expressing the contemporary life and on the contrary present powerful sense of presence through either material or thematic terms. Though the images or objects look empty or fragmented, and their work does not seem to possess any eye catching subject per se, they deliver their individual concerns in life and art in various ways.
