Barakat Contemporary is delighted to present Galaxy Express, a solo exhibition of pioneering Korean media artist Yangachi, from October 15 to December 13, 2020.
In Galaxy Express, Yangachi posits that digital art is a psychic medium allowing for communication with other universes. This exhibition presents a realization of such a “galaxy” of the not-too-distant future, manifested in futuristic tokens cast from religious icons, dolls, and sculptures and photos by the artist, all of which bear dozens or hundreds of eyes, mouths, and other sensory organs. Yangachi’s artworks guide us through the clues hidden within them, experimenting with the essence of “media” through their points of contact with a galaxy that, although imperceptible, exists.
