Ordinary World
In June 2023, KCC UK X Germany X France held an Open Call for art works under the theme of 'Ordinary World'. The submissions were judged by influential jurors from each country (Gina Buenfeld-Murley (UK), Maria Lund (France), Shi-Ne Oh (Germany)) to ensure that artistic perspectives from different countries were reflected in a balanced way, and five contemporary artists (Yang Ha, Inkyung Kwon, Jiyoon Park, Jungkyun Shin and Miguel Rozas Balboa) were selected. A total of 600 artists from all over the world applied, resulting in a fierce 120:1 competition.
鈥極rdinary World鈥� is a response to the ongoing global disasters that have built across the post-pandemic world. In an era when disasters are steadily becoming more common due to the accumulation of continuous crises, the exhibition discusses how the existing concept of normal and newly formed ordinary are combined. This merging of the two concepts allows people to better understand how to address the emergence of the new norm. It can also provide insights into how to cope with and manage disasters more sustainably. With a world where disasters are commonplace, the exhibition explores what direction we can take with art.
