Paradise is elsewhere


Hye Rim Lee’s video Obsession Love Forever is included in Paradise is Elsewhere at ifa-Galerie Stutgart (17 April – 14 June 2009) and ifa-Galerie Berlin (3 July – 6 September 2009). Curator June Yap says: "In this exhibition artists from the Asia-Pacific region look at notions of Paradise and critically address a never-ending longing for a Garden of Eden.” The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue with essays by June Yap and Iris Lenz. Lee is also represented in Leisure, A Disguised Labor? Curated by Manu Park, the exhibition is part of a Korean cultural programme in Hannover (opening 15 April) that includes contemporary art, design and film.
