“Before the Dawn of Language”

Saturday March 5^th – Sunday April 24^th

Gallery Golmok is a large, well-appointed new gallery located a few minutes walk from Noksapyeong Station (Line 6)

This is an ambitious and exciting exhibition both in the diversity of the participating artists and in the theme being addressed. In all, 25 artists from seven countries are taking part, including painters, photographers, sculptors, installation artists, performance artists and musicians. The theme has challenged artists to go back to the beginning, to a time when art was the primary mode of communication for the emerging human species and the means by which the mystery, wonder and majesty of the world both seen and unseen could be expressed.

In today’s world of mass instant communication of the sublimely trivial, this exhibition’s intention is to reintroduce its audience to art as symbol. Visitors to the exhibition will experience images, sounds and performances that dissolve barriers and open gateways to pure communication as it was “Before the Dawn of Language.”
