Design in Agenda: Symbiosis
“UNPARASITE”

The exhibition UNPARASITE aims to recall the meaning of a living space where people need to stay more isolated both physically and psychologically as never before due to the ongoing global pandemic and to heal our disrupted relationships in the spirit of “symbiosis.” The title “UNPARASITE” is a coinage inspired by the globally-acclaimed black comedy film Parasite directed by Bong Joon-ho, which mirrors the realities and deepening social divide of the Korean capitalist society in a wickedly clever way. Beyond the economic inequality, this exhibition of diverse, multidisciplinary works by 23 teams with young artists of today carefully touches on the subject of how the ego and the inner-self, people and people, people and animals, and people and nature can exist side by side in a beautiful symbiosis.

“Min Oh:
Invitee, Attendee, Absentee”

Min Oh, who has been experimenting with ‘music to see’ in opposition to ‘music to listen to,’ invites the audience to attend in seeing and listening to music in the absence of universal music. In this exhibition, the artist presents the following works: “Absentee,” consisting of five pieces of music; “Attendee,” a video of performing these pieces; and “Invitee,” a live act in which the video installation continuously changes and moves. “Absentee” was created first, followed by “Attendee” and “Invitee”; however, in the title of the exhibition, the order of the works is reversed. The series “Invitee, Attendee, Absentee” presents each piece individually; however, note that “Absentee” is the basis for “Attendee” and “Invitee,” and “Attendee” is part of the live act of “Invitee.”
