After a long absence from social media as I recovered from knee surgery and a near death medical incident, I am back and I am bad. I recently had a blockbuster solo exhibition here in Daejeon, South Korea at a huge gymnasium space converted into a gallery. I rented the gallery for 7 days, which included the install and take down days, so the show was effectively open to the public for only 5 days, i.e., 5 minutes. I took that as a challenge, to make a show that was museum quality and timeless, in about a minute. It was a show made for Instagram.

When the show did open, I was completely taken by surprise by the public response, in this, a very conservative city. I got rave responses by local artists, expat artist friends, general public, and even the gallery staff, who are usually indifferent to what’s being shown at the moment.

This is my fourth time exhibiting my work in this space, but the first as a solo exhibition. Through the cumulative experiences of my past shows, and from having seen other shows there, I acquired an intimate understanding of the space and what works and what does not.

I will discuss the show title and the content in posts to follow. Here are the announcement cards.
