Press Coverage of Shin Jang-sik's Solo Exhibition — "Diamond Mountains: Longing for the 12 Spectacles" (2018)

Two interviews on the occasion of Shin Jang-sik's solo exhibition Longing for the 12 Spectacles of Mt. Geumgang (September 2018, Kumsan Gallery). The Hankyoreh feature in its “Tea Time” column (Lee Gil-woo, 2018-09-07) covers 25 years of practice, the technique behind Mt. Geumgang from Sangpaldam (2001) displayed at the April 27 inter-Korean summit, the 1988 Seoul Olympics cheongsachorong lantern performance, and the artist's first Mt. Geumgang visit in 1998. The Edaily interview (Oh Hyun-ju, 2018-09-17) adds the Peace House loan history of Sangpaldam (an initial two-week NIS contract extended free of charge through year-end) and discusses the palette and technique of new works such as Light of Manmulsang, Mt. Geumgang (2018, 291×112 cm).
