Edge of Now. As part of the project Three Rooms | Exhibition


[29.06.2019 - 27.10.2019]


With the joint project »Three Rooms« the ZKM, the Nam June Paik
Art Center in Yongin, South Korea and the Chronus Art Center in
Shanghai, China are supporting young media artists. After stops
in Yongin and Shanghai, three artists presented their works at
the ZKM in Karlsruhe.


The exhibition »Edge of Now« contributes to current discussions
about contemporary technologies and their use in the works of a
young generation of media artists.


In the exhibition, works of the Korean artist Kim Heecheon, the
Chinese artist Yang Jian and the German artist Verena Friedrich
will be presented. Selected thorough a screening progress and
recommended by an international jury of experts of media art, the
artists present new sensibilities and new perspectives on our
world, rapidly changing with the development of new technologies.


The exhibition was first launched with the three selected artists
at Nam June Paik Art Center in Yongin, Korea in the summer of
2018, followed by an exhibition at Chronus Art Center in
Shanghai, China from November 2018 to January 2019. The program
is designed to support emerging artists through exhibitions and
public programs, promoting young artists’ experimentation and
practice to gradually construct a systematic archive of media art
in Germany, Korea and China.
