Next Tuesday, December 5, the MEDIATOR exhibition will come to a close in Seoul at Galerie RGB CUBE, 29-la-gil, Waowusan-ro, Mapo-gu.
The exhibition features the participation of Kim Hyun Joong and three other Korean artists whose work we’d love to tell you more about, but you’ll presumably have to go there to meet them.
A word of advice: if you’re going to be there, choose a time when Kim Hyun Joong isn’t around.
Yes, it’s absurd advice for a fan, but you’ll surely be more comfortable enjoying the WORKS of every artist (instead of being attracted by a single walking statue).
However, we did manage to find – and can only thank – someone who thought to record a few explanations of how Kim Hyun Joong worked to arrive at the result of the paintings on display.
Mind you, you can’t see the paintings in question, but this was done on purpose!
Yes, so you’ll be surprised to discover them for yourself. 😏
Well, if you look hard enough you’ll probably find them somewhere on social networks.😉
For those who can’t go to Seoul every day (😈 or Japan or Latin America … so there!), you can always try contacting the Cultural Service of one of the many Korean Cultural Centers established in capitals around the world, who do an admirable job of promoting Korean culture abroad.
Who knows, they might be interested in inviting four of their compatriot artists to give us a closer look [ info@coree-culture.org ]

Here’s the short video from 깻잎 FEUILLE DE SESAME, whom we’d like to thank. 🙏
Following the video you’ll find Mr. Papago’s automatic translation of Mr. Youtube’s equally automatic transcription, so don’t be surprised if at times you’re a little “Lost in Translation”.
