Here be Dragons, Project Room

Mushu is a dragon. Haku is a dragon. Falkor is also a dragon.

They are dragons owning their territories of belonging, unlike the ones that beared existence in the phrase "HC SVNT DRACONES" on the Hunt-Lenox Globe dating from 1504.

The three international artists who ventured into different territories within their artistic journey in Finland are the mythical beasts roaming the unexplored. Like the (non-existing) dragons, the artists have been mapping the uncharted minds, whether by tracing the kin, clip-and-pasting the intuitive or vandalizing the preset. Sometimes to draw a more intricate map of the known land, and at other times, to discover their own new realm.

Here Be Dragons is a group exhibition of three artists: Minjee Hwang Kim, Yu Chuan Wang, and Shia Conlon, co-organized by Chih Tung Lin and Minjee Hwang Kim.
