Whistle gallery in Seoul presents "언니 언니(unni)," a group exhibition curated by the collective Secret Asian Man. The show features a diverse roster of contemporary artists including Dongho Kang, Muyeong Kim, Young Joon Kwak, Kang Seung Lee, Grim Park, Isaac Chong Wai, and Carrie Yamaoka. The exhibition is a collaborative effort involving works and support from both Whistle and the Los Angeles-based gallery Commonwealth and Council.
This exhibition is significant for its cross-continental dialogue between the Seoul and Los Angeles art scenes, highlighting queer and Asian perspectives through the lens of the Secret Asian Man collective. By bringing together established figures like Carrie Yamaoka and Kang Seung Lee with emerging voices, the show explores themes of identity, kinship, and the linguistic nuances of the Korean term 'unni' within a contemporary art framework.
