For this occasion LWMA will exhibit three Munich based artists who originate from across the North-east Asian map: Japan, Korea and Taiwan.

 

LWMA
Lost Weekend meets young art is a non profit art project founded in 2020.

LWMA model of presentation is exhibiting two artists side by side, spread across four big showcases. One local artist from within Bavaria and the other from outside. Jaemin Lee, the art director, invisions the project becoming a bridge between the island-like, isolated, Bavarian art scenes and the world; step by step moving from within the region to greater Germany and the European art world.

Lee, wishes for young artists to use this platform as a transitional stepping stone between being a student to having a successful professional career. He views the exhibition as a mutual collaboration with the artist, which invites open communication, exchange of thought and networking within the art world. The result being, sharing their art in a wonders window showcase.lost.weekendmeetsyoungart’s profile picture

The transformation of everyday objects is a profound source of wonder and insight. This process uncovers values that are often overlooked, giving us new perspectives on the fabric of our lives.

Yegyu Shin
Yegyu Shin has been studying sculpture and jewelry/Hollowware at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich for four years.

In Yegyu Shin’s artistic works, he explores the relationship between nature and culture, between natural and artificial objects, between people, spaces and things in different ways.
Since 2022, Yegyu Shin has shifted his artistic focus from larger spatial installations to everyday objects.
Through this change of perspective, Yegyu Shin has been able to anchor new facets and a deepened knowledge of the relationship between man and nature in his work.

Tzu-Yun Hung
As a child, I always had to scribble in my exercise books or the adults would get angry again.

Tzu-Yun Hung chose the eraser as a medium because it is an everyday tool for erasing mistakes, whether at school or at work. But who can use the tool and what should be erased? The faint traces of erasure betray its presence in a dubious absence.
We seem to have freedom of choice, but once we enter an economic/cultural system, it means that everything I choose (including decisions about everything material, past and future) is a signal I send to others. It is the signal I send to others and it becomes a representation of who I am. The part of me that has been intentionally or unintentionally erased exists as a ‘lost absence’. People today create and destroy their own identities at will, using commodities labelled with various symbols and signs. It may seem like a free game, but do I really have the freedom to choose where I belong?
