EXHIBI­TIONS

MOON KYUNGWON AND JEON JOONHO

Having worked together since 2009, the artist duo Moon Kyungwon and Jeon Joonho are known for new media installations that imagine future scenarios as a means of addressing pressing issues in contemporary life, such as climate change and ideological division. The new video installation on view in this show builds on recent large-scale exhibitions at venues including the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Seoul, and Art Sonje Center, also in Seoul. A concurrent exhibition of their individual works will be on view at SCAI Piramide in Roppongi.

SCAI THE BATHHOUSE

SCAI The Bathhouse was founded in 1993 in a 200-year-old former public bathhouse building in the old Tokyo district of Yanaka, a short walk from Ueno, an area dense with museums and art schools. Representing artists from across a wide range of generations and practices, the gallery seeks to function as a meeting place for various currents of contemporary art from Japan and abroad. To pursue this mission further, the gallery recently opened Komagome Soko, an experimental project space for emerging talents; SCAI Park, which transforms part of a storage facility into an exhibition site; and SCAI Piramide, an outpost in Roppongi for cultivating thoughtful exchanges and further advancing the contemporary art scene in Tokyo.
