In 2017, Art Space Pool (“Pool”) curated exhibitions and programs with an agenda focusing on women artists and curators in a conscious effort to both bring gender and feminist issues to the forefront and facilitate a forum in which women are able to express their opinions autonomously. Hence, Pool would like to introduce a selection of prolific Korean women artists for India Art Fair 2018. Utilizing traditional mediums such as oriental painting, sculpture, and oil painting, Bomin Kim, Jipyeong Kim, and Jang Pa explore images of subjects that oppose the biased images of women still prevalent today, while Aesop probes the relationship between human and nonhuman through her singular visual framework.

The participating artists seek to expose feminist issues and situations that have been overshadowed in a male-dominated society, social biases, and fragmented judgments. In addition, they challenge the problems they face as women with an alternative perspective.

And Pool also introduces the young generation artists, Jeong Deokhyeon and Moojin Brothers. Jeong Deokhyeon represents the dark and hidden side of society and human relationships by presenting ordinary objects (such as a nail, pot, book, and sewing machine) in the style of Korean painting. Moojin Brothers is a media artists collective comprising Mujin Jung, Hyoyoung Jung, and Youngdon Jung. Their works start from the stories of their surroundings. Unfamiliar and odd sensibilities and images are captured from the lives, dreams, and realities of ordinary people to shed a light on a new and undiscovered part of our lives.

Artspace pool is the first generation alternative art space founded in 1999 in Korea
