Hanmi Gallery is a uniquely positioned platform for the dialogue between Asia and Europe, constantly evolving in the global arena of contemporary art. Since Hanmi Gallery in London first opened its doors in 2010, it has established itself as a major exhibiting space for predominantly Asian artists. In contrast, the Gallery’s Seoul premise dedicates itself to exhibiting an exclusive selection of w
orks by British and European artists. Hanmi Gallery is devoted to link Eastern and Western artistic practices and exhibiting modern and contemporary art to an international audience. Working with both emerging and established artists and curators, Hanmi Gallery has a particular commitment to new media and interdisciplinary works, showcasing and fostering visual culture that reflects contemporary art trends. INTERIM EXHIBITIONS
Due to upcoming major renovations on Hanmi Gallery’s London premises, the site has been running a successful programme of Interim Exhibitions. All the shows respond to the sites raw, stripped-back state with often site- specific installation works. This gallery setting offers artists and curators an opportunity to engage with a unique space. Hanmi Gallery provides a conceptual and physical laboratory for artistic trials and experimentations in a central London location. The space has become a hub for creative thinking, inspiring artists and spectators to see the space, and the art within it, in a new way. It allows them to explore how the site resonates with an artistic endeavour, and the effects that it has both spatially and psychologically. Since the gallery’s inception, the building has hosted a variety of important exhibitions. Highlights from the programme include the Interim Exhibition ‘Situated Senses 01: Inclined Angles’ curated by Jay Jungin Hwang. The project unfolded with two distinct solo exhibitions of contemporary Korean artists, Shan Hur and Soon-Hak Kwon. Each artist showed the coexistence and collision of contradictory states in the spaces of daily life, and the interrelationship between a sense of distance and space originating from the psychology of visual experience. The works outgrowth was generated from a penetrating observation about the space during the preparation for exhibition. Other notable Interim Exhibitions include works by the artists Leonard Johannson, Shezad Dawood and Yingmei Duan. Twitter: HanmiGallery
