MUMMIFIED: Learning from the Past...

You are cordially invited to the opening of Jin Kim's exhibition 'MUMMIFIED. Learning from the Past...' in our new gallery on Friday January 6 from 19:00 - 21:00.

In this show Jin Kim makes comparisons to mummified palaces, symbols of the glorified past, with the ‘power houses’ of politics, economy and media in modern day life. A recent political scandal in South Korea reinforces the thoughts that Jin Kim has on the corrupting nature of capitalism. It inspired him to create this series, giving it a more political narrative than previous work.

‘The reason art touches our hearts or the reason we want to be touched by art must be, because we all believe that there is something special in art that can change our lives.’ Jin Kim

The exhibition is part of the MARTER Projects. MARTER Projects is part of Bureau voor Kunst and the initiator of an art exchange program between South Korea and the Netherlands.
