An Absolute Travels to CICA Museum, South Korea

by Daric Gill

*Update* Since this article, CICA has started to charge significant exhibitor fees that weren’t present during my exhibition. I do not generally support costly exhibitor fees.

It is my extreme pleasure to announce that Absolute: Earnest has been accepted for exhibition at the Czong Institute for Contemporary Art Museum in South Korea. During the months of October & November (2016), my work will be included among other international artists in Artist Statement, an exhibition that triumphs the connections between an artist’s work and their written philosophies. In addition to the exhibition, an art-book will be published that will showcase a side-by-side documentation of the artwork and the artist’s statement. Read more about the exhibition below.

Exhibition Dates:
Oct. 14, 2016 – Nov. 20, 2016

CICA Museum Location:
196-30, Samdo-ro, Yangchon-eup, Gimpo-si, Gyeonggi-do, Korea 10049

About CICA:
“Started from the sculptor Czong Ho Kim’s studio in 1994, Czong Institute for Contemporary Art (CICA) became a unique cultural space founded and cultivated by him. Not only CICA fosters projects of experimental artists, we are open for everyone to learn about Contemporary Art and apply it to one’s life. We aim to provide a creative, yet comfortable space for artists and the community to nurture their creative and critical thinking with visual culture while they communicate with each other.

CICA Museum has a collection of Czong Ho Kim’s sculptures, paintings, and architecture, as well as many renowned international artists’ works. For special exhibitions, we exhibit Contemporary Art pieces including painting, sculpture, and new media art. CICA also offers education and public programs for the cultural development of local communities.”
