"During Frieze week, Seoul gets an advance sample of the Korean edition of the Sunpride Foundation's ongoing Spectrosynthesis exhibition series, which surveys LGBTQ+ Asian art. While dates for next year's main show, at the city's Art Sonje Center, are not yet confirmed, off-site 2: Eleven Episodes (until October 26) teases how Korea might add to the project that started in 2017 in Taipei and has since continued in Bangkok and Hong Kong."
"The project adds gender sensitivity as a topic alongside the queer narratives explored in the previous three Sunpride exhibitions. Sunjung Kim, who will curate the larger exhibition next year, says gender's incorporation in this iteration "reflects our aim to address how contemporary Korean society is experienced through questions of gender, power and identity. By this, we mean an awareness of gender-based differences and socially constructed roles, and a conscious response to the inequalities they produce.""
An advance presentation of the Sunpride Foundation's Spectrosynthesis Korean edition appears in Seoul during Frieze week as Off-site 2: Eleven Episodes (until October 26). The project is split between Kukje Gallery K2 and (Together)(Together) and includes performances by Yagwang, Younghae Chang, Ru Kim and Jimin Hah at the galleries, Frieze Seoul and Dosan Park. Yagwang will stage a durational procession, Raw Proof: Echo, through Coex on 4 September. Curators Sunjung Kim and Jina Kim selected 11 emerging female and genderqueer Korean artists, including Sojin Kwak, Moon Sanghoon and Han Sol. The iteration adds gender sensitivity to the series’ existing queer narratives, foregrounding questions of gender, power, identity and socially produced inequalities ahead of a larger exhibition at Art Sonje Center next year.
