《Myth, Representation of the Era》, 2022.04.08 – 2022.04.26, Artertain
Before written history, the birth of a nation was often mythologized through stories that carried the desires, hopes, and survival instincts of the era. And within these myths, transformation is always present. In essence, for a new polity to emerge, something of the old had to shift. The newly formed state then needed a narrative that could encourage its people and affirm their will to live well.

《When Ero·Gro·Nonsense Combines Nonlinearly》, 2023.05.11 – 2023.05.31, Arting Gallery
From the 2023 work Park’s Land 27—where the veil encircling the Virgin Mary's head meets the protruding snout of a wolf placed squarely at the center—I begin to trace the artist’s aesthetic clues. The recent series titles, announced as periodical themes, are gathered under “Park’s Land.”

Discovering New Local Artists and Encouraging Creative Spirit
Many artists reside in Goyang City. However, the support programs and infrastructure for these artists are far from satisfactory. Kim Chan-dong, director of the Arko Art Center, said, “Although the art museums and performance facilities are not poor compared to other regions, considering the number and level of resident artists, the environment is definitely inadequate.”

Ordinary People
This work, originally presented in Park Jung Hyuk’s third solo exhibition 《Ordinary People》 (August 20–September 30, 2011), consists of five sound-interlinked videos that play in random order. Each video is a dramatized montage created by splicing together scenes from more than fifty Eastern and Western films and television dramas.

The Temperature of the Senses
Artists create for many different reasons. Some work in order to convey a clearly defined message; others simply because they have something they want to say. Still others create because they feel a more ambiguous but equally compelling need—to draw, to make, to release something that must be let out.

Trainning
The exhibition's signature work, Training, is a video piece featuring the artist and two Jindo dogs. The artist filmed the two dogs (Mulder and Doggett) over a period of one month, feeding them and training them to follow commands like "sit," "stand," "down," and "lie down."

Criticisms
Rebellious Possibility_Transformation, Searching for Origins and the Process of Deconstruction
Park Jung Hyuk has long focused on how humans sense and perceive the world surrounding them — how they are governed by it — and how they reproduce it. As the artist himself states that his work is “a questioning of taken-for-granted logic, stereotypes, structural problems, and contradictions,”

Same=Different
This work uses the phonetic and cosmological principles of Hangul’s invention, and its process of development into a global writing system through discrimination, contempt, hardship, and overcoming since its creation in the fifteenth century, together with Koi’s Law, which states that the size of an individual is determined by its environment, to show—through a found-footage technique—why Hangul has come to be positioned within global culture at this moment.
