Chief director Lee Jung-kwon said, “In a world where contemporary narratives are consumed rapidly, I wanted to create an unconventional, artistic interpretation of ‘We Are the World’ by bringing together art guardians,” adding, “I believe that art guardians can have a positive impact if they collaborate to deliver messages.” “I curated this exhibition based on my own vision,” he said.

He added, “We assembled 30 individuals who have experience in the art world and could tell their stories through art. We also attempted to recruit actor Brad Pitt, but despite traveling to New York, we were disappointed to be unable to contact him.”

With the tagline “From a Broken World to a Beautiful and Smooth World”, the exhibition aims to spark change in the online and offline realms.

The Internet Phenomenon-themed exhibition area displays works focusing on social media (SNS) and the chaos stemming from cyberbullying.

Ji-an Kwon, who has experience curating exhibitions on cyberbullying, said: “Since embarking on my career as an artist, I have witnessed the damage caused by cyberterrorism and the barrage of mocking comments online. My response is to hope that individuals who have suffered similar harm will feel empowered to come forward after viewing my work,” she said.

Shinhwa’s Lee Min-woo said, “Although I have been active in the entertainment industry for 27 years, I have been pursuing painting since last year, so I participated in this exhibition with the mindset of a newcomer. I wanted to express the emptiness and pain I felt, so I presented myself as a clown,” he explained.

The offline themed exhibition collaborates with the environmental organization Greenpeace to raise awareness about plastic pollution and the climate crisis.

Singer Jang Hye-jin said, “I have always been passionate about the environment, and I personally love sunsets, so I created this theme. It is said that if the air quality is compromised, sunsets cannot be portrayed accurately. I painted the desire to witness a beautiful sunset for a long time,” she said.

Participants expressed a hope that the exhibition would alter public perceptions of celebrity art endeavors.

“When I held my first exhibition in 2012, I encountered significant prejudice. Although I have moved beyond being hurt by it, I still find it strange and view it negatively when an unconventional individual emerges. I wish to change this prejudice,” Sowerby said. “I hope many individuals will dream of pursuing careers in various artistic fields,” she said.

“Dang: On and Off” will be held at Process Itaewon until September 22. On Saturdays, exhibitions, performances, and parties will take place under the name of “Art Night.”
