EAST ASIAN VIDEO FRAMES: SHADES OF URBANIZATION
Curator: Minna Valjakka
The repercussions of urbanisation in East Asia are evident in all spheres of visual art. The issues and phenomena raised by them have sparked new interpretations of and visions for the city. Consisting of video works and documentaries from the 21st century, the exhibition showcases the new means that artists employ in order to understand everyday life in the city. Multiple perspectives from Hong Kong, Beijing, Tokyo, Seoul and Taipei illuminate the shared concerns and hopes of urban dwellers and artists.
