The 컬mont Family presents Cadavre Exquis at Space빔(Beam). 컬mont Family is a family of friends and an international group of artists living and working in Korea. They originally formed within the abandoned neighborhood of Guemho in Seoul where they spent their summer weekends exploring, sharing, and making art.
Cadavre Exquis is French for "exquisite corpse" and originates from a Surrealist game in which players take turns writing or drawing on a piece of paper. Each player conceals their work with a fold, revealing only a tiny portion until the page is complete. For this group project, they embrace the game's historical and literal associations, replace the conceptual element of concealment with interdisciplinary collaboration, and expand the material from simple paper to the space of the city and of their friendships. All the works for this exhibition are new projects developed between the artists involved.
The컬mont Family takes specific interest in the Baedari area because of its strong sense of community and its current struggle against rapid redevelopment. Space빔(Beam) is an alternative art space located in an old rice wine brewery building on Baedari Road in Incheon, Korea. Many people call Baedari the "Mother of Incheon" since Incheon's modern history, culture, education, religion, labor, and even transportation started there.
Space빔(Beam) is trying to establish the unique identity of local culture as an alternative art space under the motto of publicity, locality, and autonomy. It intervenes in the course of production, circulation, and consumption of discourse on local art and sets the stage for open meetings and productive communications while struggling with the centralized culture & arts system.
