 ARTIST TALK WITH Far From Any Road´s ARTISTS

NON STOP
SATELLITE TALK

#1. A talk with Korean artists in Berlin residency programs

On May 2nd during the Gallery Weekend, NON Berlin is launching its first SATELLITE TALK with artists who are currently participating in artist residency programs provided by KÜNSTLER HAUS BETHANIEN and ZK/U in Berlin, Germany. For the first round, 3 artists - Byeongseo YOO, Kijin PARK and Dae Hong KIM from ARKO, the Busan Cultural Foundation and CAN foundation will introduce their works to the Berlin audience.

This will be a great opportunity to find out about the artists, their works, their thoughts behind and beyond. For our participating artists, we believe it will be a good chance to create a connection with the Berlin art scene. NON Berlin will provide Korean-English interpretation throughout the presentations and talks. We look forward to seeing you!

Artists:
Byeongseo YOO (ZK/U resident from December, 2014)
Kijin PARK (Bethanien resident from March, 2015)
Dae Hong KIM (Bethanien resident from April, 2015)
When: Saturday, May 02 from 4-7pm
Where: Asia contemporary art platform NON Berlin


NON STOP
SATELLITE TALK
is a program organized by Asia contemporary art platform NON Berlin with the initiative to introduce Asian contemporary artists to Berlin, Germany and furthermore Europe. As more and more Asian artists are flying abroad from their countries to take part in international artist residency programs, we are willing to become a platform/station to bring them closer to Berlin's contemporary art scene and to support their works. We believe this will accelerate exchange and create stronger networking among the Asian-European art field.

NON STOP  SATELLITE TALK: With Asian artists-in-residence in Berlin 

Artist I Yooree Yang & Laure Catugier
Curator I Gauthier Lesturgie 
Date I March 20 - April 03. 2015
Asia contemporary art platform NON Berlin 

« Vladimir : And Where were we yesterday evening according to you Estragon : How would I know ? In another compartment. There’s no lack of void. » (1)

In vis-à-vis, Laure Catugier and Yooree Yang’s works look profoundly different : either through their aesthetic, the medium or else the impressions we get out of them. Yet, common curiosities lead them over shared ground; notably towards an expanded sense of architecture and space, whether constructed or conceived, built or imagined. 

The paths of these two young artists also show similar trajectories. Laure Catugier was born in Toulouse (France), where she studied architecture and art before choosing to settle in Berlin. Yooree Yang also lives and works in the German capital city, after spending her childhood in Jeju in South Korea and studying art in Marseille (France). Interested in developing exchanges between Asia and West Europe, while attempting to avoid stereotypical discourses, NON Berlin perceived a potential dialogue between the two artists.

This exhibition project is also fed by these displacements through the mix of languages : between French (shared and chosen by the two artists), English, German and Korean. A constant translation game leads us to articulate the project around one word: « blank », itself suggesting multiple meanings. Some of the possible derivations of this English term enable us to build precise logics between these two expressions.


Absolutely physical, the work of both artists introduces us the presence of absence (2). This paradox escapes from the poetic sphere of the language to find plastic expression in space.
