Jeuno JE Kim is a Korean artist who is currently based in Malmo, Sweden and has been practicing actively in Europe and the Unites States for the past 9 years. She will have her first solo exhibition in Korea and in Asia, which will be conceptualized and produced in collaboration with the Tokyo-based independent curator Kyongfa Che, and Art Sonje Center will host it from March 6, 2010 through April 25, 2010.

Jeuno Kim produces video, performance, sound, and drawing. Her work investigates systems of storytelling and narratives, blending the personal with the historical, political and social contexts. She also organizes discursive events, screenings and exhibitions, both individually and collaboratively.
Kyongfa Che is an independent curator based in Tokyo. She has both curated and co-curated exhibitions and workshops in Norway, the Netherlands, Indonesia and Korea.

The objective of ‘Fog Dossier’ is to examine the mechanisms of representation and various forms of constitutive force, focusing specifically on myth and history as a basis for authenticity or an origin, and to explore their functions and meaning in the present.

The exhibition experiments with the methods of exhibition making to incorporate a various artistic media, academic materials and documentation and collaboration, in order to create the visual experience which questions the systems of knowledge - how we know what we know, suggests that knowledge and history is constituted and not an objective truth, and indicates the potentiality in re-visiting history and social contexts to discover something yet to be seen.

The artist and curator did collaborative research to explore their interests in archives, issues of representation, identity politics and foundational myths. The study of four historical figures - Soetsu Yanagi, Isabella Lucy Bird, Georg Everhard Rumphius and William Morris enabled the researchers to experiment with multiple forms and narratives.
The exhibition will consist of entirely new works, produced specifically for occasion at Art Sonje Center. The approximated pieces consist of: Single channel video work, Viewing stage/installation, Drawings,
Sculptural installations, incorporating objects, book(s), and other archival materials collected since May 2009

It aims for the exhibition to be an opportunity for artists in Korea to be encouraged to conduct more research in order to engage with the system of knowledge and explore what form of new intelligence is possible to be articulated.
