ABOUT

새끼-치기 Saekki-Chigi

The exhibition series Saekki-Chigi (Tillering) takes its name from an agricultural term referring to the process by which new stems form from a plant with the same genetic traits, much like the tillering phenomenon seen in certain crops.

The exhibition depicts a circulating ecosystem of “derivative works” that generate conceptual, variable, or immovable sculpture/installation works and media art works such as video/sound (which should be contained in digital devices) through collectible materiality.

Saekki-Chigi²: It’s time for LOVE

Titled It’s time for LOVE, the 2024 edition of <Saekki-Chigi> presents artworks as heartfelt, material messages—like letters that never arrived—embodying the care and time each artist devoted to their creative harvest.

Saekki-Chigi³: Take Me to the Moon

The third edition of <Saekki-Chigi>, subtitled Fly Me to the Moon is an exhibition that artistically visualizes longing for love, romance, and an unattainable future ecosystem.

It is a fictional agency created by two visual artists.

These artists step away from their identities as creators and take on the role of managers, connecting artists and consumers under the alternative identities of "Kaimen and Ro."

‘Agency gop’ is an organization that serves as a bridge to connect and facilitate communication between audience and multi-disciplinary artworks, as well as a frontline base that protects and supports the process. The agency and artists, artists and artists come together to create multiplied values.
