Gallery Chosun is pleased to present 'Space is the place.' by Dong Yoon Kim and Jeongbae Lee. This is the first exhibition of Dong Yoon Kim in Korea and duo show with Jeongbae Lee, a photographer and a sculptor. Dong Yoon Kim will show new video and photographs, while Jeongbae Lee will exhibit full photos printed on Korean paper as well as unique sculptures. The exhibition will be where two artists' experiments and research on images of memory and desire can be felt.

Those objects seem that they exist in non-space as Marc Aúge says, but it also shows some anonymous people's memories exist unspecifically. I press time and space of a moment through stacking and show a boundary between reality and illusion…"
