10 TH “SHIN IL KIM” SHIN IL KIM AT SPACE COTTONSEED
Space Cottonseed has for years shown valuable support for contemporary art around the region, from its roots, four years ago in Mullae Art Village in Seoul to, now, its new Southeast Asian hub at Gillman Barracks. One of the exhibitions to look forward to this month is “Shin il Kim,” of the Korean American artist of the same name. Shin il Kim is known for his pressed line drawings, videos and installations that break down the boundaries and limitations set by human perception—his colourless images question the preconceived notions of colour while his light-infused videos redefine physical boundaries perceived by the human brain. “Shin il Kim” runs from 10 January through 2 March 2014. Space Cottonseed is at #01-24 Gillman Barracks; 47, Malan Road. For more information, visit www.spacecottonseed.com
