When Everyday Life Reveals Itself Out of the Blue
A collaborative exhibition was recently held at the White Block to remind people of the meaning of everyday life. Artist Lee Woo-lim's "A Walk" with the enlarged face of a worn-out breadwinner depicts the heavy burdens felt by the breadwinners in modern society. Artist Lee Chae-young's "Strange Day" captures the odd feelings she had while passing by one house that she sees everyday. Artist Hwang Sun-tae's "Shower" with a man immersed in himself whilst showering seems to depict the artist himself, while Hi, Kyung's "Sewol" expresses the grief of the sinking of the Sewol-ho ferry with cherry blossoms. This exhibition also displayed the photos, notes, drawings and objects that inspired the artists, enabling the audience to experience their own individual everyday lives.

Performance
Finding the Real Me ? "Fake Diamond"
The contemporary dance piece "Fake Diamond" stereoscopically depicts basic human desires and the criticism of society. Choreographed and directed by Cha Jin-yeob, the artistic director & choreographer of Collective A, this performance expresses human beings' twisted desires as well as the hypocrisy of our society. Unlike the premier, which was comprised of a single act, this performance has 2 acts, more extravagant stage installations, choreography and stage outfits. Act 1 visually reveals the vanity and desire of humans with visual elements, while Act 2 depicts the greedy inner sides of human through dance. The intermission is also part of the performance. Four dancers show different dance moves in different corners of the lobby, and this performance is held to prolong the feelings and emotions provided by Act 1 and to act as a prelude of Act 2 as well. "Fake Diamond" portrays the pretense and hypocrisy of humans through dance, enabling the audience to find their true selves.
