Koku Gallery will present Jae-eun Choi’s solo exhibition “Nature’s Country” in K2 and K3 from March 20 to May 11. This is the artist’s third solo exhibition at Koku Gallery, and the works on display reflect on the origin and time of life, the birth and death of existence, and the complex relationship between nature and humans, covering a variety of media such as sculpture, installation, architecture, photography, video and sound. Choi, who moved to Tokyo in the mid-1970s, entered the art world by learning the grammar of flower arrangement at Tokyo’s Sogetsu Art Center and reinterpreting it. In 1986, he held his first solo exhibition with the work “Earth”. In the work, he covered 13 tons of soil on the indoor garden “Heaven” designed by Isamu Noguchi at the Sogetsu Art Center and planted seeds on it, visualizing his unique philosophy on the flow of life and time and space. Through the “World Underground Project” that began in the same year, he tried to combine art and science, such as taking out paper after being buried underground for a long time, examining life and cycles through the traces of time accumulated on the paper, and expanding to observe the microscopic world of microorganisms in paper. Especially since the implementation of the "Dream Earth" project in 2015, we have been working on specific solutions and methods to restore the forests in the DMZ based on professional research. 

While the Atomouse for mobile devices preceded Murakami’s work, it was the Superflat series that followed that really captured international attention. It’s not hard to see why the world reacted so differently to these seemingly similar paintings. Murakami included Japan in his Superflat series, while Lee Dong-gi did not. In the mid-2000s, Christie’s Hong Kong held an exhibition of contemporary art from Korea, China, and Japan that immediately revealed the differences between the three countries. Japan uses manga imagery to express its identity, while China uses traditional and communist symbols. On the other hand, the work of Korean artists is distinctive no matter how you look at it. What does this difference mean? This suggests that something unseen is influencing our interpretation of the meaning of art. This is context. Context acts like a kind of grammar. The grammars that currently dominate the reading of art are Orientalism and Postmodernism. Orientalism defines the non-West through Western eyes and requires non-Western writers to show regional characteristics. This ultimately creates a situation that emphasizes group identity rather than individual uniqueness. Postmodernism also seems to value the individual, but it further divides identity by region, gender, and generation. It does not offer a way to understand the uniqueness of the individual. Ultimately, the individual serves only as a medium for revealing a more detailed group identity, and art is absorbed into another social discourse. Nothing has changed. Art is always searching for something new. However, it is impossible to create something new if we focus only on recognizing repetitive patterns of collective identity in individual works. For the real novelty lies in the uniqueness of each individual.

The exhibition will feature six promising young artists, including Kim Ah-reum, Lee Yeon-jung, Jang Do-eun, Jeon Jang-yeon, Cho Wan-jun, and Ha Sun-woo. Watching these creatures, like their clones, move forward towards a world that is yet to come is like a space rocket dropping its engine and fairing with a loud noise as it leaves. The exhibition follows the artists' trajectories and raises questions about what we once thought was one, what is closer to us than ourselves, or what may now be nothing more than the tail of a star that is quietly disappearing.

Miju Leehas been exploring familiar, everyday things and discovering hidden clues and new possibilities for interpretation. This exhibition features 20 sculptures and paintings, including new works, showing the artist's interpretation of everyday life and how it is woven into narratives

Boone Calubine studies the mechanisms of world-making and perceptual technologies, exploring the mediation, image-making, and device production between self and world that make it possible. He interprets paintings from the 19th century Philippine colonial period from the perspective of Renaissance linear perspective to depict the coordinates of a specific regional context in the wider art world. Calubine's work involves reconsidering concepts such as horizon and vanishing point, and carefully thinking about the mechanisms that make it visible, such as framing, archiving, historiography, and accessibility.
