| Abstract: | At 'We Where', Hong attends to the subject of “communities” that become forgotten in contemporary society. She recognises the loss of a communal space that premodern folks believed to be real, i.e., sacred areas in which the spirits of living organisms including animals, humans, and plants could communicate through a natural connection, and wishes for the recovery of such relationships of equality. Furthermore, the artist critiques the reductive and exclusive bent and the hierarchical social system of the contemporary era. |

| Note: | We Where is a solo exhibition of Young In Hong at PKM gallery, Seoul. At Hong’s exhibition, 8 new artworks including a sound installation and a large-scale embroidery work and 2 photo-score series created in 2017 are shown across the entire gallery space. 1) The main hall of the gallery (PKM), houses an embroidery work and an installation inspired by shrine iconography, which has acted as a gateway between the spiritual world and the material world as a tool of collective ritual ceremony, a sound installation that invites a pair of grandmother-granddaughter elephants living a communal lifestyle, and two weaving pieces that poetically highlights the voices of female textile workers of the past. Hong’s newest works create an environment in which diverse subjects and spirits coexist. 2) At the annex (PKM+), works in a variety of media, such as silhouette drawing, embroidery work, felt pieces, scores, and a musical performance references specific time and space from the postwar modernization period in Korea. This points to the possibility of re-writing the past to a diverse range of individual stories instead of a single, unified history. We Where has been supported by HEQR funding, Bath Spa University. Thi and Anjan was made in collaboration with Lee Choong Kyung and Jung Yeon Hwa. |
