contemporary society, “‘youthfulness” is no longer an exclusive property of those in their twenties. While Korea has entered the “aged society” faster than any
other country in the world, the society constantly stresses the value of
remaining young. Youth
Before Age, presented by the Coreana Museum of Art, looks into
perspectives on “youth,” which has become a complex issue that is closely
related to the global phenomenon of aging. The
diverse viewpoints of artists included in the exhibition will present an
opportunity to dismantle stereotyped and limited images of youth, and thus
enable a broader understanding of aging within contemporary culture. 《Youth Before Age》, Installation view at Coreana Museum of Art, 2019 《Youth Before Age》, Installation view at Coreana Museum of Art, 2019 《Youth Before Age》, Installation view at Coreana Museum of Art, 2019 Juen Jiin, <Folder: jikkbakguri>, 2019, acrylic mirror, Installation view at Coreana Museum of Art, 2019 Seline Baumgartner, <Nothing Else>, 2014, 2 channel video, color, sound, 16:9, 12min, Installation view at Coreana Museum of Art, 2019 Julia Charlotte Richter, <push play (chase the rabbit)>, 2010, 3 channel video, color, sound, 16:9, 14 min, Installation view at Coreana Museum of Art 2019.
