Shapeshifting
Cities around the world have changed dramatically. In this exhibition, two artists, Jang Won-young and Kim Dongi, catalogue some of the changes. From a distance, Jang's photo collages seem like any other cityscapes, but up close, they reveal the passage of time and personal sagas. Kim's works, mixing print and painting, are pieced together like installations.
