Exhibition: Jinyoung Kim — Here


  • Dazibao 5455 Avenue de Gaspé Montréal, QC, H2T 3B3 Canada (map)

Tracing the career of Jinyoung Kim, a Korean-born artist who has been active on the Montreal scene for over ten years, the exhibition brings together several bodies of photographic, video and sculptural work. Here proposes a conceptual reading of the artist's work, placing her at the center of a narrative, not as a storyteller but as an active witness to a changing environment. Here is the place of belonging, or perhaps more profoundly, the place where the feeling of belonging develops. Sometimes fluctuating, changing, temporary, subject to displacement, or altered by the desire of individuals to anchor themselves, this place is shaped as much by the people who inhabit it as by its physical construction, or the objects to which we become attached and those we leave behind. Here is the house that can be seen from the outside to explore its interiority. Here is living, by necessity, within the growing precarity of our social, political and economic contexts.
