[Ausstellung] Still/ 𝘔𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨: Korean Video Art Performances

Artist Talk with Min Oh: 2 Oct, 5 PM / Korea Kulturzentrum *No registration required

Free Admission

Making visible what remains unseen is always a political act. It directs our attention to hidden labor, suppressed emotions, and gestures often regarded as insignificant, asking us to reconsider both what we have seen and what we have overlooked. In this exhibition, “performance” is not limited to an event staged before an audience. Rather, it refers to the ways in which labor, care, training, memory, and emotion embedded in everyday life are enacted through the body. The exhibition explores how such movements shape narratives and renew the relationship between body, time, and space. Here, the body is not merely a tool of expression but a site where experience and memory are inscribed and recalled, and where social orders intersect.

This exhibition brings together video and performance works discovered and supported by SONGEUN, a non-profit art space based in Seoul.

First shown on SONGEUN’s LED wall, the spatial quality of the outdoor LED wall, which appears to support the building itself, is here translated into the reception hall, where visitors enter, pass through, and pause. By allowing the moving image to permeate this everyday space of passage and pause, the work carries forward the program’s attempt to redefine the threshold between daily life and art, while proposing the moving image as a fluid temporal device within the spatial context of Austria.
