About
This exhibition pushes established convention to the edge. Three emerging Korean artists, Debbie Han, Ji-Yeun Hong and Dong Won Shin, challenge and provide unexpected twists on Tradition and Orientalism through their progressive art.
'Here and elsewhere to the furthest verge' is a line uttered by the antagonist Henry Bolingbroke in Shakespeare's Richard II (1593). A cunning and gifted challenger in disguise to the less competent but rightful king, Richard II, Bolingbroke pushes boundaries in order to take the crown. In a similar vein, this show illustrates the artist's explorations of their local and traditional origins to the furthest verge to assume their new place in a contemporary capacity.
