Call for Curators Exhibit 3 - < Reimagining Places: Land, Store, Home>, Apr 27 to June 9
The Korean Culture & Information Service (KOCIS), the Embassy of the Republic of Korea, and the Korean Cultural Centre Canada (KCC) proudly announce the exhibition <Reimagining Places: Land, Store, Home>. The third exhibition, from 2022’s open call to celebrate the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Canada and Korea, will run at the KCC Gallery from April 27 to June 9.
Co-curated by esteemed experts Vicki Sung-yeon Kwon, Associate Curator of Korean Art & Culture at the Royal Ontario Museum, and Hong Kal, Associate Professor of Art History at York University, the exhibition features the innovative work of Korean Canadian artists Jin-me Yoon, Diana Yoo, and Yoon Jin Jung.
As Canada faces a growing interest in acknowledging and addressing historical injustices towards Indigenous and marginalized communities, the exhibition explores the complex experiences of Asian migrants and their descendants as visual minorities. <Reimagining Places: Land, Store, Home> presents new projects by the three artists that delve into their multifaceted, layered experiences of living on colonized land as migrants of colour, through the themes of land, store, and home.
The exhibition showcases Jin0me Yoon’s single-channel video <Long Time So Long>, created during the pandemic, which explores the artist’s performance for the camera in charged landscapes. Diana Yoo's photographic series <Inconveniences> offers a nuanced representation of convenience stores as sites of resistance to capitalism that erase "inconvenient" histories related to racialized minorities and their labour. Yoon Jin Jung's multimedia works focus on displacement, inviting audience participation to reflect on and take action to help those who have lost housing due to war, disaster, or economic inequality.
The trio explores intricate histories and traumatic memories from transnational and transgenerational perspectives, inviting viewers to engage in critical conversations on colonialism, capitalism, racism, and multiculturalism. The exhibition challenges the concepts of colonial claims to land and capitalist ownership, envisioning alternative ways of being and cohabiting.
The KCC stated, "Earlier in 2022, the KCC called for curators to submit new exhibition proposals to celebrate the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and Canada in 2023. The goal was to foster critical dialogues between Korean and Canadian curators and envision deeper connectivity and sustainable collaboration between the two countries. <Reimagining Places: Land, Store, Home> is the third of four selected curatorial proposals, and its presentation is timely as we strive to envision the best for our future relations."
