Professors and graduates of YU were invited to a top exhibit in the regional art circles.
The Daegu Art Museum is holding two exhibits to introduce local artists in light of its four year anniversary, and three of the four guest artists to the exhibit were from YU. They are Professors Kim Ho-deuk (64) and Kim Hee-seon (48), and Artist Yoon Dong-hee (31).
Artist Yoon Dong-hee is an up-and-coming artist who graduated from the YU School of Fine Arts (major in painting) in August 2011 and is currently active in Daegu. He was selected as the sixth guest artist of the ‘Y Artist’, which is a series exhibition of the Daegu Art Museum. The Daegu Art Museum began the ‘Y Artist’ project in 2012 to display the fresh senses of young artists and to provide the opportunity to find and promote promising artists in the area.

This exhibit, which is held under the title ‘Discovered Memory’, is being held from the 19th of last month until October 4 at Daegu Art Museum Exhibits 4 and 5. It displays a total of four pieces including drawings, videos, and installation art. In this display, Yoon expressed Korean history from a crossing perspective of personal history and macro-history through drawings, videos and installation art in a total of four pieces. These are a series of works to raise awareness on our thought process and social perception that has become a part of inertia through religious or political suppression, and to raise the audience’s critical mind.
The main pieces are ‘Spirit’ that deals with the wounds of those sacrificed on the darks side of the brilliant modernization, as well as a historical perception on it, ‘Red Night’ that deals with the violence of national ideologies, and ‘Sunken Memories’ that deals with the social phenomenon and oblivion of the Sewol Ferry tragedy. These pieces do not employ traditional painting methods, but are expressed in a variety of ways to capture interest and attract participation of the audience. This method shows the artist’s thought on the theme directly and in detail, and aims at allowing viewers to easily share and understand it.
Also, in the ‘Daegu Trilogy’ composed of three solo exhibits, Professors Kim Ho-deuk and Kim Hee-seon will show their works. The Daegu Trilogy was designed to share the today of the local art and look towards a leap into tomorrow by selecting three artists that represent art in the region. This exhibit displays the works of three veteran artists such as Kim Ho-deuk (Korean painting), Kim Hee-seon (media installation) and Lee Gi-chil (sculpture) who are actively engaged in the domestic and international art circles while residing in Daegu.
The Daegu Trilogy will be on display until September 13 at Exhibit rooms 2 and 3 on the second floor of the Daegu Art Museum. It is expected to provide an opportunity to appreciate works of various genres such as Korean painting, installation art, sculpture, video, and multimedia art. Details on the exhibits are available at the Daegu Art Museum homepage (http://www.daeguartmuseum.org).
