korean artist kim yun shin 2644504

Korean artist Kim Yun Shin, who turns 90 in 2025, is currently the subject of a two-part solo exhibition spanning Lehmann Maupin's London and New York galleries. Titled after her series "Add Two Add One, Divide Two Divide One," which began in 1975, the shows opened in February 2025 at the gallery's temporary Cork Street space in London and continue at its New York location through May 31, 2025. The exhibitions draw on Eastern philosophy of Yin and Yang, exploring themes of union and division. This follows her debut at the 2024 Venice Biennale, where curator Adriano Pedrosa selected eight of her sculptures for the Central Pavilion under the theme "Foreigners Everywhere." In an interview, Kim discusses her nomadic life—from North Korea to South Korea, Paris, Argentina, and back—and how her experiences as a foreigner shaped her artistic perspective.

Artist Soumyadeep Roy's latest exhibition spotlights migration and identities

Artist Soumyadeep Roy's latest exhibition, "Shahrashob," explores migration and identity through the lens of historical and personal narratives. The show traces movements from Delhi to Lucknow in the 18th century, Lucknow to Calcutta in the 19th century, and post-partition shifts to Bombay and Karachi, centering on Wajid Ali Shah's journey to Kolkata and the creation of a mini-Lucknow in Metiabruz. The exhibition features video films of paan-sellers in Lucknow and Calcutta, archival references, and creative re-imaginings, drawing on Roy's personal bonds with descendants of historical figures.
