Instagram Live with Seoul based curator and artist Sunjoo Park about co-organising the exhibition as an artist collective, SE14, at Seoripul Gallery and the significance of New Cross (Postcode SE14), London from her own experience living in the capital city.

In the light of the pandemic which has and will continue to reshape our perception of daily life, five young artists gather to look deep within and re-evaluate questions youths continuously throw at themselves, each in their own unique ways, and present it together in a space. Pondering on the self-conscious, projection of the self in relationship with others, uncertainty towards the future, endless self-loathing as well as occasional narcissism, personas we wish to present to others and ourselves hiding behind it, and other similar thoughts are re-thought on whether they were impacted as much as how we get by has been.

Seoripul Gallery, originally an underground passage that has been abandoned for over twenty years, is unlike the traditional “white-cube” exhibition space. Its original purpose can still be seen in what the show is all about. As the five, individual artists use the space to contemplate on themselves both in solitude and in tandem with each other, they grow. They wish that, at the end of the tunnel, at the flight of stairs that will take them up back to the upper world, they would re-surface, and be better than they were yesterday.
