Since its first open call in 2004, Kumho Museum of Art has selected 101 artists through its young artist support program, “Kumho Young Artist,” and hosted solo exhibitions for the artists. The exhibit 2025 KUMHO YOUNG ARTIST presents new works of 6 artists selected from the 22nd open call at their respective solo exhibits. The first part (3.21~4.27) introduces Cheolgyu Kang, Seungjoon Song, and Haevan Lee, and the second part (5.9~6.15) introduces Nayoung Kang, Sangwoo Yoo, and Hyeongjoon Joo.

Seungjoon Song offers an alternative to the human tendency to romanticize nature by depicting its eerie and contradictory aspects through original scenarios and corresponding installation artworks. In this exhibition, Song deepens his ecological exploration by focusing on the vitality of ecosystems in uninhabited zones. Set in a fictional floating refugee camp called Proxima, the scenario An Essay by a Proximian follows the protagonist's struggles with life in the air within a dystopian future, as well as the pursuit of infinite wind despite being a finite being. Through this work, Song reflects on humanity's objectification of nature while challenging binary perspectives, ultimately revealing an ecological vision of new forms of coexistence.
