Doosan Gallery’s exhibition, ‘Doosan Art Lab Exhibition 2025, opened on Jan. 22. Since 2010, Doosan Art Center has organised annual Doosan Art Lab Exhibitions to discover and support young emerging artists under 35 years of age. This year’s exhibition featured the artists Goyoson, Kim Yuja, Noh Songhee, Jang Daeun, and Chang Yeonghae. Noh’s work, Best Television is Noh Television (2025) presents the distance between actual exhibition space and on-screen space, that is, the distance between physical space and digital space, through virtual space archiving. The video of virtual space that showcases the artist’s past works amidst a rhythmic background music invites the audience to a new kind of archive experience. Kim’s photography works titled A very slow walk (2024) and Night Writing (2024) located at the centre of the exhibition hall capture the movements of the hand flute. Kim’s enquiries into the ‘visible’ and the ‘invisible’ through photography reveal the artist’s intention to get closer to a concealed darkness, despite her fears. Goyoson’s Lullaby – Singing Sculpture (2025) can be found on the opposite side. This work, which features a scaled-down version of works by other participating artists and invites the audience to sit down and listen to a lullaby, conveys the artist’s wish to the audience for a good night’s sleep. The exhibition will be on display until Mar. 8.
