THAT SEVENTY’S focused on nostalgia, classicality, the inspiration and style, to whom may view as being old fashioned, from the objects of the past or certain period in the works of young artists of our time to be the inspiration. Also portions of old memories are to be shown that are newly composed through the own points of views of presenting three artists.

Dylan Ryu  uses vintage races, buttons, classical clock board, ribbon tape and other various objet, of more than 20 to 40 years old, onto vintage bags making them into the totally different new style of bags. For example, she mixtures French vintage bag from 1970’s with English Vintage wappen from 1950’s, and with American style vintage race from 1960’s; making the work into the bag by Dalyan Ryu in 2010. Ryu also continuously collects vintage from the various generations to show how yesterday’s objects become today’s subjects that get many of our current generation’s adoration, and as well, of the future ones. Yongseok Oh’s artworks stimulate the viewer’s emotions due to the artist’s way of compounding fragmented personal memories through the ingeniously slightly uneven time and space, the vaguely tangible memories of the past, the faint contrast of the halted and the moving screen, and the visage of daily lives shown through various perspectives. The artist’s efforts to chase past and present, memories and remembrances creates a dramatic effect that everyone can relate to through rearranging and recombining fabrications of space and real situations. Sungmin Kang  focused on the subjects that bring bitter memories, in some sense; the forgotten ones and faded color prints from the past. Once upon a trip that Kang got an inspiration from one of the old toy cameras, which we can see small and vague images through a viewfinder that feel like as if we could reach out and actually touch them like, sometimes, the distance between the past and the present, show how Kang preserve the daily memories of her own.

Based on the various mediums and style from 70’s; THAT SEVENTY’S tries to present the futuristic-interpretation of current and past objects and works in presentation evokes each viewer’s own memories and recollections. With re-edited classic by these three artists, we can experience the new classic and opportunities to think about changes of visual ways of our seeing.
