Twin Town [group exhibition]

Twin Town is made up of three 'pairs＇of artists, bringing together a Korean artist with a European counterpart. These pairs (one of which includes a guest) are based on lines of practice; sculpture, installation and photography.
This approach deliberately veers away from making an exhibition easily tick-boxed as a Korean art show and instead opts to show art by artists from Korea alongside art by artists from the UK and Germany. In this way Twin Town also acknowledges the wider fact that contemporary artists from all sides of the world can be found working next to one another. Curatorial concerns are less about collaboration and more about ideas of influence and change.
The exhibition plays with the idea of a twin; a lost, known or rival sibling, together at birth but divided by time. South Korea let’s not forget has a twin, of which few know anything about. Twin Town is the title because what influences and changes us is both familiar and strange, a twin encounter.
Twin Town is curated by Jeremy Akerman and managed by Ji Hye Hong.
