Myoung Ho Lee: Between or Beyond Act and Scene

About the exhibition

Since 2004 Myoung Ho Lee has set large white canvases behind subjects in the open, a single tree for example, and photographed the result. This museum solo looks at how that idea has changed.

The 47 photographs fill the second and third floors of the museum's exhibition galleries and run through to the new Kiribati series, which Gallery Hyundai describes as a record of an island nation threatened by rising seas.

The museum sits in Eunpyeong, in the northwest of Seoul, and takes a bus from the subway. Lee also has a concurrent solo at Gallery Hyundai.
