Treasure Island was a project that emerged from the energies of the six artists in [collaboration + contention]. The collective consists of the artists Dongchan Kim, Seonghong Min, Mingyu Song, Jinyo Choi, Seokjun HA, and Gyunghyun Hwang. In the Treasure Island project, the artists presented how the collective with contentious plurality operates and influences individual artists, and how the artistic life as a group turns to that of an individual. Nyet! Nyet! Nyet!, shown in the Seoul Mediacity Biennale 2018, is a performative project that demonstrates the ways in which the “relationship” of the six artists transforms itself and the six individuals, while maintaining its informal shape.
Dongchan Kim’s installation work Dribble consists of the artist transporting someone’s favorite video game machine on a freightbicycle. Conceived as a sculpture piece, Kim rides the bicycle from his studio and travels approximately 150 km and finally parks at the Museum where the exhibition is held.
