Ci Kim

Union Projects, London

The works of Ci Kim in Myself offer a freshness and innocence with an unadulterated and very personal reflection of the artist's life and desires, and serve to illuminate his ongoing craving for interaction between artist and viewer.

MYSELF

UNION PROJECTS announces a solo exhibition of works by Ci Kim, the Korean-based artist, businessman and contemporary art collector.

Kim's practice evolves from his various conceptions and interpretations of commercial culture and reflect his dual status as an entrepreneur and artist. However the diversity of themes and media he employs successfully transcend the realm of pop art. Since his relatively nascent identity as an artist is still unfamiliar, Myself reflects Kim's struggles with a divided self and his efforts to establish an unfixed, inclusive identity.

Dreams, self-analysis and the external communication of shifting internal realities are significant recurring topics for Kim. In addition, his work displays a keenness to interact with viewers both symbolically and more literally.

Image Replica', 2003 a mirror installation, investigates issues surrounding image reproduction (originally raised in Walter Benjamin's critical discussions) and the role of the viewer. Photographs, the first layer of replication, are hung facing a mirror creating a duplication of a reproduction, as well as a dual presentation of the image. The mirror metaphorically reflects our contemporary age of simulacrum, where the original is overcome by its multiple representations and, at the same time, affects the viewers' spatial experience and perception. Other pieces on display employ language as a direct tool for communication, or rely on elements that hold a place in the universal subconscious, thereby prompting a personal response from each visitor.

The works of Ci Kim in Myself offer a freshness and innocence with an unadulterated and very personal reflection of the artist's life and desires, and serve to illuminate his ongoing craving for interaction between artist and viewer
