《Flash:
Images Left Behind》 is an exhibition by the MMCA
Residency Goyang that introduces six artists from five different countries who
have stayed in Korea as resident artists for its International Residency
Exchange Program. Since 2005, the MMCA Residency Goyang has collaborated with
prestigious institutions in many countries and has assumed the role of a medium
in cultural interchanges through this program. As of 2016, the residency is
hosting a program to exchange artists with seven institutes from Taiwan,
Germany, Japan, Canada, and Australia and support their creative activities.
Alluding to a phenomenon
that leaves images with the sudden, brief, and intense display of light,
"flash" in the exhibition title refers to the effect the six artists with
different cultural backgrounds have created while staying at the residency for
three months. Despite the short period of time, they have left behind intense
meanings, images, and afterimages that are now being expressed through the form
of sculpture, photography, video, and installation works. The exhibition is
expected to motivate further mutual communication and exchanges among diverse
cultures.
