The 1973 'Disappearance' you can sit in

At his first solo show in 1973 at Myeongdong Gallery, he set out tavern tables, chairs and cups and served visitors makgeolli. Here, wooden platforms let visitors sit and talk instead.

At the entrance, his painting "Cheongmyeong" is recreated in LED at its original size and reflected in a mirror opposite. The artist sums up his theme as "how do we meet the unexpected?"
