SOUGHT AND FOUND
Contemporary Korean Art
24–30 September 2026

Gallery JIB presents SOUGHT AND FOUND: Contemporary Korean Art, bringing together six artists based in Korea: Yang Sunghoon, Jang sooji, Woo Jongtaek, Kwon Soohyun, Kim Seoul and Lim Hyunhee. The six artists work from very different starting points. Their subjects range from the Korean moon jar and the experience of growing up to invisible forces, mechanical colour systems, memory and breath. What connects the works is an attention to experiences that are personal, often difficult to define, and sometimes recognised through feeling before language.

The title refers to a particular experience of looking at art: encountering something and recognising its significance, sometimes before being able to explain why. It may be an image, a memory, a sensation or a personal feeling. We do not always know exactly what we are looking for. Sometimes, only through an encounter with a work does something become clear. The exhibition brings together six practices that approach this experience from different directions, leaving room for the viewer’s own memory and perception to become part of the work.

Artists:
Yang Sunghoon · Jang sooji · Woo Jongtaek · Kwon Soohyun · Kim Seoul · Lim Hyunhee
