This event has ended.

Part-time Suite, an artist collective based in Seoul, Korea, produce works that focus on the question of art and society in the context of cityscapes and narratives in spaces - rough, yet poetic performance videos and installations in which limitations and constraints in the circumstances are transformed into point of interests through the artists’ intervention and initiation. Since 2013, Part-time Suite has been a duo consisting of Miyeon Lee and Jaeyoung Park, extending their area of exploration into the prevailing economy-centrism and media environment that dominate the foundation for everyday life, as well as the power that the arts can create in and against such conditions, however minute it may be. The artists also perform as a musical project band Part-time Suite Sound and has released two EPs.
The artists work as a group to face the limitations and harshness inherent to their reality, while attempting to transform these conditions into artistic productions that reflect and amplify their circumstances. As a group, they also consistently question the internal dynamics of their own collective, gaining insight into the power of autonomy and self-organization within the wider context of what they perceive as social contradictions and inadequacies. Through this process, they paradoxically discover new possibilities by seeking ways to adapt and subvert existing frameworks in order to casually overcome these limitations.
Work using VR technology is featured in this exhibition at Artzone.
