바라캇 컨템포러리는 오는 3월 28일부터 5월 26일까지 태국 출생 작가 프랏차야 핀통의 국내 첫 개인전 《내일을 돌보는 오늘 𝘛𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸》을 개최합니다. 이 전시는 서로 다른 사회, 경제, 지리적 체계들 사이의 대립에 대한 질문으로부터 출발하여, 반대되는 것을 시적으로 연계하는 작가의 독특한 작업 세계를 보여줍니다. 그는 주로 여행을 통해 오브제, 재료, 이야기들을 수집하여 서로 다른 형태와 이슈를 서로 상충하는 동시에 상호작용하게 합니다. 특히 이번에 소개될 신작은 6-70년대 라오스에 미군의 집중 폭격으로 남은 수천만 발의 불발탄(UXOs)을 이용한 작업의 연장선으로, 한국 DMZ의 현재와 연결시켜 이것은 라오스의 문제 뿐만 아니라 세계적인 문제임을 암시합니다.

Thai-born artist Pratchaya Phinthong’s first solo exhibition in Korea: 𝘛𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸 at Barakat Contemporary provides a comprehensive view of the artist’s practice that brings together heterogeneous social, economic, and geographical systems into constructive yet open-ended friction. Primarily through extensive traveling and dialogues, Phinthong finds and gathers objects, materials, and narratives for his art projects, allowing them to interplay in both ironic juxtaposition and fateful harmony. Particularly, the new works produced for this exhibition are an extension of his project that reprocesses in collaboration with the local community the unexploded ordnances left in Laos from the intense bombing by the US military between 1964 and 1973. The work draws connections to the current situation in the Korean DMZ and implies the global significance of this issue beyond Laos.

Barakat Contemporary

Barakat Contemporary is a gallery in Seoul, South Korea. We are located in the centre of Seoul’s cultural district that leads the Korean art scene, along with renowned galleries, art institutions and, especially, the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA). Barakat Contemporary continues to explore connections between different cultures through its vast collection and archives of Human Science, Anthropology and is actively conducting researched-based projects. Barakat Contemporary is fulfilling its vision in collaboration with artists who manifest philosophical and insightful interpretations of interest in human civilization, including El Anatsui, Shezad Dawood and Wael Shawky (upcoming). In collaboration with artists that cross Human science and civilization, the exhibition will showcase a new horizon to contemporary art and introduce it to the Korean art scene. In addition, Barakat Contemporary will continue to lead the art scene in Asia by producing knowledge and discourse with people from various fields through academic programs as well as exceptional exhibitions.
