FOCUS TOKYO-SEOUL

Ingahee Gallery, located in Sowol-ro, Itaewon in Seoul, features curated exhibitions that introduce global contemporary art with a focus on the work of Korean artists. Ingahee partners with artists to present exhibitions that highlight experimental yet collectible works in various media. Inghaee provides artistic interaction with the local community through IN-CU, a window display exhibition. IN-CU has two meanings: ‘Ingahee Gallery Cube’ and ‘incubating (experimental art) at Ingahee Gallery.’ This exhibition is always artist led, and presents a fresh and experimental installation. Additionally, in an effort to solidify the Art Patron culture, Ingahee provides programs and tours for art collectors to foster understanding of contemporary art. Ingahee Gallery seeks to present a new vision for the development of contemporary Korean culture and arts by connecting with ‘art lovers,’ including artists, curators, critics, collectors and gallerists.

Ingahee Gallery presents the booth with the theme of Ambivalence, consisting of works by the artists, Oh Yunseok (Korean, b.1990) and Koo Jiun (b.1990). Oh’s Roadkill series depicts the carcasses of dead animals on the street. Through the accident of roadkill, Oh asks  what is truly important in the here and now, considering that life can present us with a sudden death like roadkill at any moment. Koo’s Cyber-Drag-Beauty series suggests ways to appropriate drag culture as Koreans or Asians by citing the positive gender codes found in drag culture. It also reassembles the overwhelming images to expand and re-mythologize the boundaries of the body.
