Sunghwan Kim’s Night Crazing, which was held at Barakat Contemporary in this year, was introduced one of the Top 10 Shows from Across the World in 2022 by Frieze.
Sung Hwan Kim’s exhibition Night Crazing was installed in two of Barakat Contemporary’s gallery spaces, each of which included a key video work. In a critic's guide for frieze, Hayoung Chung was particularly struck by Love Before Bond (2017), and observed, ‘the work spins together an ahistorical exploration of aesthetics and otherness.’
Through layering that reflects the passage of time and the psychological and physical marks that are acquired with it, the exhibition’s content and structure shows not only the artist’s ongoing interest in how his work renders relationships with history visible, but also the temporal and spatial layers that imbue our perceptions of story and our position in the surrounding world.
