Selected for the [Emerging Artists & Curators 2024], curator Eunha Chang's exhibition, Sad Captions: Everything Has Been Washed Away; I Can Only Write ‘Sad’..., focuses on diverse voices of artists around 'sadness' amidst the contemporary desire to become numb to external events and experiences. Through a carefully curated selection of works spanning from the 1990s to the 2020s, itnavigates the turbulent waters of 'sadness' arising from various contexts such as racism, cyberbullying, climate crisis, and pandemics. As visitors uncover the fragmented words and remnants of 'I,' the very subject of 'sadness,' they foster a deep connection with 'my' unique sadness while writing their own 'captions' and forging new bonds along the way.
The exhibition Sad Captions: Everything Has Been Washed Away; I Can Only Write ‘Sad’... is a space that waits for the ‘sadness’ of the plural 'I' to be explained through you, rather than reducing, classifying, analyzing, or clarifying the cause of ‘my’ ‘sadness.’
