The Eggs: Kim Sangdon’s First Solo Show in Hong Kong
PHD Group, Wan Chai
Why We Recommend it
As Kim Sangdon’s first solo show in Hong Kong, The Eggs uses the common, humble egg as a metaphor for spiritual growth, exploring its appearance throughout Korea’s sociopolitical history.
Description
The Eggs marks South Korean artist Kim Sangdon’s first solo show in Hong Kong, where he uses the common animal product as a metaphor for growth in a time of global adversity and explores its relationship with Korea’s sociopolitical history.
Small but endlessly generative, eggs appear throughout Korea’s sociopolitical history, from myths of kings being hatched to present-day protests, where egging politicians has become a common ritual.
One featured exhibit is Kim’s folkloric painting series, Egg That Has Spent the Night, created in the traditional style of dancheong, typically used to decorate temples and sacred buildings in Korea. The series references his interpretation of night as a celestial realm of the subconscious, dreams and maternal gestation.
