‘Future Lies Ahead: Daejeon 1993/2023’ is an attempt to remake the exhibition ‘Future Lies Ahead’, commemorating exhibition of ’93 Taejon International Expo. It was an exhibition directed by a legendary curator and the first exhibition restoration in Korea led to expectations of meaningful art historical discoveries. However, what we actually faced was the agony and limitations between the gap between ideals and reality, art and capital, and ideas and practices. And that is what it now is like, even years after. This exhibition seeks to critically reflect on exhibitions that prioritize public opinion and guidelines over the foundations and functions of art, and prioritize labor exploited on behalf of capital and “numbers” rather than “why.” Therefore, instead of neat text and friendly explanations, the chaos of the exhibition process is displayed on the wall of white cube.Exhibitions require constant research and selection based on a lot of time, labor, and capital. I hope that the exhibition is viewed not as a bundle of works or as an object of entertainment, but as a practice that reflects the society and spirit of the time and a window that leads to a new era and generation.
