Pace is pleased to present its first major exhibition of work by Lawrence Weiner at its Seoul gallery from November 8 to December 28. Occupying the second and third floors of Pace Seoul—as well as elements of the gallery’s exterior— Lawrence Weiner: ANYTHING ADDED TO SOMETHING will bring together sculptures created by the artist from 1989 to 2019, showcasing his use of language as the work itself, visualized through gestures, graphics, and typographic design. This show follows UNDER THE SUN, a survey exhibition of Weiner’s work at Seoul’s Amorepacific Museum of Art last year. A pioneering figure in the international Conceptual art scene of the 1960s, Weiner’s use of language was a powerful and transformative gesture to performance. Bringing the receiver of his work into its performative existence, the context and resonance of his art proposed radical questions pertaining to the nature of objects. The artist adopted language as his primary material in the late 1960s when he issued his “Declaration of Intent,” a seminal text within the early development of Conceptual art:

Special Exhibition of Seoul Urban Life Museum: Marriage Stories of Seoul Families Once seen as an obligation, marriage is now viewed as a choice. To explore the reasons behind this shift, the Seoul Urban Life Museum conducted a comprehensive survey and studied the marriage culture of Seoul's citizens across different eras last year. The findings are now presented in this year's special exhibition. Soon after the liberation in 1945, the country faced the Korean War. Still, Korean society has rapidly grown with the Miracle on the Hangang River, and marriage customs have evolved alongside this growth. Seoul's marriage culture, shaped by traditional values and foreign influences, continues to change. We invite you to reflect on Korean society's journey over the past 80 years after independence through the lens of Seoul's marriage culture to foster deeper generational understanding and empathy.

Project Hashtag is a project curated by the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art to discover creators leading the visual arts in Korea and to support mutual collaboration not only in art but also in various fields. Launched in 2019 with the support of Hyundai Motor Company, Project Hashtag celebrates its fifth anniversary in 2024 and builds it into a new level of competition project that experiments with the scalability of contemporary visual art. "Hashtag (#)", the name of the enterprise, is a special symbol that can be interpreted in many ways depending on the language, country, purpose, etc. It was first used by Chris Messina on Twitter (currently X) and is now widely used. Hashtag is a method of linking related topics in different posts by connecting # and keywords on SNS platforms, and in this way, links can be formed in countless cases. The guiding value of Project Hashtag is an attitude and practice that transcends traditional definitions and boundaries, just like a label, creating a structure that enables unpredictable connections and communication. Project Hashtag 2024 is a project that supports collaboration between creators, curators, and researchers in various fields, rather than focusing on traditional pure visual art, and involves a differentiated platform through which expanded artistic possibilities are explored. We also hope to actively embrace free sharing between different fields and further conduct marginal experiments on tensions and conflicts that arise within them. Project Hashtag 2024 opened for public submissions in March 2024. This year's applicants proposed not only convergence projects using the latest technologies such as generative AI, metaverse, and games, but also social experiments that address pressing contemporary issues. In particular, people's tendency to look at social issues such as new environments, interpersonal relationships, and changes in values ​​brought about by the introduction of AI technology into daily life from different perspectives, and to seek community solidarity through interaction with others was very evident. In the Project Hashtag 2024 showcase, "Wish Office (Kim Raeo, Choi Joonseong, Seo Jinkyu, Seo John, Oh Saeol), Playing Art Method (Cho Hoyoun, Kim Youngju, Rhee Sei)", proposed different themes in their own way through the medium of "games", introducing the projects of Ho-yeon Jo, Young-ju Kim, and Se-ok Lee. "Wish Office" builds a "wish world", a virtual world where everyone's wishes can come true. We proposed a social experiment game that examines modern society through the language of games, in which individual efforts are easily frustrated. The "Playing Art Method" addresses the problems that arise when games are displayed as works in art galleries, creating meaningful discourse through exhibitions, workshops and other methods to form a loose learning community.

The Hermès Studio will host the solo exhibition "Paranoia Paradise" by the artist duo Nayoung Kim and Gregory Mars from November 22, 2024 to February 2, 2025. Since the beginning of their collaboration in 2004, the artists have expanded their awareness of artistic diversity and freedom through exhibitions at home and abroad for nearly 20 years, and in this exhibition they present their own extraordinary world of work with 60 new works. The artists, born in South Korea and Germany, met in France, a third country, and continue to live and work together, developing a world of work that eliminates the purity, hierarchy and norms of art based on mixed languages ​​and cultural experiences. . For them, the countless objects and images that exist in the world are interesting existences with cultural typicality in a specific time and space, and by being separated from their original purpose or context and handed over to the hands of the artists, they enter a new realm of artistic life. Through the strange combination of objects that the artists themselves call "Frankenstein", we go beyond clichés and enter a surprising and rich world of interpretation. At first glance, these works seem to be a collection of different objects, the product of "readymades" descended from Dadaism or Fluxus, trying to eliminate the gap between art and life, but in the case of Kim & Maas, they are "handmade" sculptures that require careful artistic adjustment, and they also have personality. The title of the exhibition, "Paranoid Paradise", is the superposition of two words with the same etymology but conflicting references, clearly revealing the world of the artist's work who likes tautology and contradictory puns. The combination of two or more objects often seems strange and inappropriate because it does not follow the standards of harmony or completeness, which inevitably involves the Korean society in which the artist currently lives, the contemporary hybrid imitation culture, and the shadow of art. Obsessed global capitalism has been covered up. In the representative work "Katie's Enlightenment" (2024), a large sculpture abandoned in a corner of the park was taken out and restored, and a cute expressionless icon and the father's hot air balloon regained their joyful and sad faces. It's like a halo attached, overcoming pain and entering nirvana. Nayoung Kim & Gregory Maas deal with objects and images without any limits, ranging from art history to kitsch and pop culture products, to daily necessities related to food, clothing, shelter and transportation, as well as leisure items suitable for people of all ages and genders. They coexist without hierarchy, just like the various parts and byproducts of the human body that maintain life through metabolism. The exhibition features modified works by Picasso and Henry Moore, as well as Minnie Mouse expressed in embroidery, screens written in English, and snot paintings. The artists' works are ironic and humorous, but never defined by a single meaning, bringing an experience that awakens a calm sense of reality, rather than entering the unconscious or surreal world through the "chance encounter" of objects.

This artist, who has lived and painted in Paris all his life, is committed to transferring the beautiful memories of life to the canvas, and presenting the daily yet ideal scenery of various parts of Paris as ordinary and peaceful scenes.
