Chef Show is director Choi Cheol-ki’s new film.

The story is very simple. At first it may feel like it's just nothing. But as the plot unfolds scene by scene, waves of surprise always keep you looking forward to the next moment. There is love, there is story, and there is beautiful light and shadow. The stage performance is a combination of hip-hop music, sometimes witty and lively, sometimes romantic and warm, and all the settings are unconventional, giving the audience a panoramic fashion and shock like an MTV photo.

The Hermès Studio will host the solo exhibition "Paranoia Paradise" by the artist duo Nayoung Kim and Gregory Mars from November 22, 2024 to February 2, 2025. Since the beginning of their collaboration in 2004, the artists have expanded their awareness of artistic diversity and freedom through exhibitions at home and abroad for nearly 20 years, and in this exhibition they present their own extraordinary world of work with 60 new works. The artists, born in South Korea and Germany, met in France, a third country, and continue to live and work together, developing a world of work that eliminates the purity, hierarchy and norms of art based on mixed languages ​​and cultural experiences. . For them, the countless objects and images that exist in the world are interesting existences with cultural typicality in a specific time and space, and by being separated from their original purpose or context and handed over to the hands of the artists, they enter a new realm of artistic life. Through the strange combination of objects that the artists themselves call "Frankenstein", we go beyond clichés and enter a surprising and rich world of interpretation. At first glance, these works seem to be a collection of different objects, the product of "readymades" descended from Dadaism or Fluxus, trying to eliminate the gap between art and life, but in the case of Kim & Maas, they are "handmade" sculptures that require careful artistic adjustment, and they also have personality. The title of the exhibition, "Paranoid Paradise", is the superposition of two words with the same etymology but conflicting references, clearly revealing the world of the artist's work who likes tautology and contradictory puns. The combination of two or more objects often seems strange and inappropriate because it does not follow the standards of harmony or completeness, which inevitably involves the Korean society in which the artist currently lives, the contemporary hybrid imitation culture, and the shadow of art. Obsessed global capitalism has been covered up. In the representative work "Katie's Enlightenment" (2024), a large sculpture abandoned in a corner of the park was taken out and restored, and a cute expressionless icon and the father's hot air balloon regained their joyful and sad faces. It's like a halo attached, overcoming pain and entering nirvana. Nayoung Kim & Gregory Maas deal with objects and images without any limits, ranging from art history to kitsch and pop culture products, to daily necessities related to food, clothing, shelter and transportation, as well as leisure items suitable for people of all ages and genders. They coexist without hierarchy, just like the various parts and byproducts of the human body that maintain life through metabolism. The exhibition features modified works by Picasso and Henry Moore, as well as Minnie Mouse expressed in embroidery, screens written in English, and snot paintings. The artists' works are ironic and humorous, but never defined by a single meaning, bringing an experience that awakens a calm sense of reality, rather than entering the unconscious or surreal world through the "chance encounter" of objects.
