“Romance Deficiency Disorder“ curated by Kim Kim Gallery
Kim Kim Gallery is a contemporary art gallery run by Gregory Maass & Nayoungim, a German-Korean artist duo. The Gallery was founded at the Market Gallery in Glasgow, Scotland, in 2008. It describes itself as "a non-profit organization, locative art, an art dealership based on unconventional marketing, a curatorial approach, an exhibition design firm, and editor of rare artist books, depending on the situation it adapts to; in short, it does not fit the format imposed by the term "Gallery". Clemens Krümmel writes "This begins with the excess of dis-identificatory self-reference in creative dialogue with the institution Kim Kim Gallery, along with corporate identity and advertising products and a mania borrowed from Martin Kippenberger for 'great' work or exhibition titles".
Kim Kim Gallery is an institution which does not solely function in a gallery context but through self-awareness evaluation and adaptation of Kim Kim Gallery´s structure to varying spatial, financial, and aesthetic circumstances. It is a peripatetic enterprise, which infiltrates the structure of contemporary art through unconventional marketing and seeks formats in which art works can function efficiently and independently from the mainstream.
Kim Kim Gallery often uses puns (punoramasia) for its titles like "The man who shot ambivalence" and more recently "Lava, come back to me!".
This time "Romance Deficiency Disorder" refers to the famous symptom called "Attention Deficiency Disorder". South-Korea is a country which changed from an agricultural feudal society to an industrial society in record time and went from occupied country, through war, over dictatorship to democratic republic in no time, hence the title. The title of the show reflects the concept of the booth set-up.
낭만결핍증은 ‘주의력 결핍 장애‘라는 유명한 증상과 관련된 제목이다. 남한은 농업 중심적 봉건 사회에서 산업사회로 바뀌면서 점령 국가에서 전쟁으로, 독재를 넘어서서 민주 공화국으로 옮겨갔다. 인도 아트페어의 한국 현대미술 소개 특별전으로 기획된 부스의 설치개념을 반영한다.
