We non-Koreans come and live in Korea for various reason, some because they are fully fledged teachers, some to experience life in another country, some to experience life in Korea specifically and some regrettably for the money but for whatever reason we come we bring with us our talents.
And sometimes we share them with the Korean public, as Jeonju’s Artist Coalition will until the 7th of November.
The group of artists have put together a one month exhibition that they have called an ‘Art Crawl’ as ti takes place in 10 coffee shops around the city and you are invited to crawl around the city, stopping off at each gallery to sample the fruits of the artistic labourers that lie within.
Each coffee shop will have a different theme and will investigate a different kind of intelligence. in 1983 psychologist Howard Gardner had a theory that every one of us is “smart”, just in different ways. This lead to the development of the theory of multiple intelligences and that is what this exhibition hopes to look at. The themes are NATURE, COMMUNITY, SELF, LOGIC, SOUND, SPACE, SPIRIT, LIFE, LANGUAGE and MOTION.
The exhibition looks at 10 different kinds of intelligence but you will also be able to see the artists in their work, how each artist has been influenced by what they see around them and hopefully there will be plenty of Jeonju and Korea in the work. The exhibition will also give locals an insight into what we expats do with our time in Korea. There is a lot of negativity around expats in Korea and I hope that through projects like this, that not only involve Korean artists but actively interact with the Korean public, people can see that grouping all ‘foreigners’ together, in any way positive or negative, is a very crude way to look at us.
The exhibition will run until the 7th of November in the following cafes.
