'Running on the Borders : Inter-cultural Negotiation and Adventures of Thinking' is a trilogy organized at the institutions with respectively different features in different cultural regions as Seoul, Lyon and Bangkok. The series is not a tour exhibition of the same kind but a trilogy of projects, each planned in a different form and in a different frame.

Part 1 presented in Seoul is the platform of experiencing the confusion of reasoning systems to which Korea as Asia has to be accustomed in order to exchange with the other cultures beyond Korea. There will be various experiences of shaking up and turning over thoughts, jumping over expectable premises and looking at the perceptional confusion in a new way, etc. For the diagnosis of such chaotic situation, we need several compasses of alternative perception. Thus there will be various opportunities where interdisciplinary academics of all walks gather together to share their trans-boundary knowledge in Part 1.

Artist Kyungho Kim is a video journal producer and photographer who has work experience as a news producing technology director at the Iranian Cable News Broadcasting System in Seoul. In this exhibition, he deals with the politics of image representation intervened during the Iran-Korea news producing process that he has experienced at Press TV for the past 3 years, the Iranian broadcasting system based in Korea. He also deals with the imaginary scene of inter-cultural negotiation taking place in the new media surroundings.

Each channel of the artist’s multichannel video installation work presented in the exhibition displays the on-site file and final version juxtaposed on a single screen. The display order of images is changed and the frame is slightly cut, making the time out of step, and finally the voices of anchors are out of joint. They talk about the same incident but maybe due to the slight difference between the general narrative layout for Iranian and Korean viewers, the display order of images are arranged differently and the detail of awomen in a mini-skirt in the background would be cut since it is a cultural taboo in Islamic countries.
