REVIEW: ARTIST TALK by E

SEOUL · on this tuesday 8pm, we had a pleasant talking session with our residency artist 'e'. he shared his philosophy, sources of inspiration, and projects in past.










while putting emphasis on performance art, he is keen on crossing over various genres like painting, sculpture, video, sound, and movement in a process of creating artwork.















































have a look at some of his previous projects.

he is also a member of performance group 'ee'. 'curiosity kills' is a track from their digital single album. two different versions were shown; original and remix.














he tended to visualize racism that he experienced when he stayed in london as an exchange student by putting parts of doll together as one figure.













this is an extension of the project above. message written on t-shirts directly delivers a notion of racism in humorous way; text written in korean means shitty british. the text right below, meanwhile, is 'i love uk'.

this was actually on sale and it was all sold out.
















this project starts with an interesting question, 'does genius really exist?' he installed huge banner around a building saying 'e is a genius' with his cell phone number written below. he received various text responses including a lot of swearing, then exhibited them inside the building afterwards.

pursuing fun is definitely his way of creating art.



















surprise, surprise! no one ever imagined a residency artist proposing to his girl friend at the artist talk! but e did. it was very sweet, congratulations!
