Curation | City Gazes: Artistic Perspectives on Place Group Exhibition
June 8 – 14, A Space Gallery, 13 Grattan St, #402, Brooklyn, NY, USA
June 18 – 22, Kyungsung University Art Exhibition Hall, Busan, South Korea
Cities are more than just physical spaces—they are lived experiences, cultural intersections, and reflections of identity. City Gazes: Artistic Perspectives on Place brings together Asian artists and diaspora voices to explore the ways they perceive, navigate, and interpret the urban and regional landscapes they inhabit. Through diverse artistic practices, the exhibition reveals personal connections to place, offering insights into the cultural, historical, and emotional imprints left by cities on those who call them home.
Presented by Asian Art Contemporary, in collaboration with Kyungsung University and A Space Gallery, this exhibition highlights a range of artistic perspectives that capture the nuances of urban life, from fleeting moments of everyday existence to deeper reflections on memory, displacement, and belonging. Whether through painting, photography, installation, or mixed media, the featured works invite viewers to engage with the ever-evolving relationship between people and place.
Curated by Webson Ji and Ju Hyun Kim, City Gazes will take place across two locations—A Space Gallery in Brooklyn, New York, and Kyungsung University Art Exhibition Hall in Busan, South Korea. The exhibition will run from June 8–14 in New York and June 18–22 in Busan, creating a cross-cultural dialogue that transcends geographical boundaries.
Through the lens of these Asian diaspora artists, we are offered a multiplicity of perspectives—some nostalgic, some critical, some celebratory—all contributing to a collective portrait of cities as more than just landscapes, but as sites of history, transformation, and creative expression.
