Boyun Jang: Acquainted with the Night at Doosan Gallery New York

DOOSAN Gallery New York opened Boyun Jang’s solo exhibition “Acquainted with the Night” on November 13th and till December 27th. Boyun Jang’s process comprises of using photographs of others that she has either coincidentally or intentionally acquired as a medium, then fictionally restructuring memories and experience that she and the other have in common, then reenacting them through images and language. This exhibition is a revision of an exhibition of the same name that took place in Gallery Factory (2011, Seoul, Korea) and it will include over 40 photographs, a projection, and an essay book of the artist’s experience recorded in a diaristic manner, all inspired by a photo album she received from an American through happenstance.
