Co-presented at Han Jeon Gallery, Seoul 23 July – 9 August 2003

Parallel is an international exchange project involving emerging visual artists from Australia and South Korea.

Parallel embraces notions of non-convergent similarity, offering an open-ended framework for the juxtaposition of existing methodology and conceptual concerns. The project acknowledges each participant’s pursuit of a career in the visual arts, as a qualifying point of engagement.

To this end, Parallel eschews a mode of cultural exchange that could be construed as hegemonic. Rather, its goal is to compress the space, both geographic and cultural, that separates artistic practice and to emphasise the output of such practice as the active conceptual element of the project.

A bi-lingual catalogue was published by Han Jeon Gallery for the project.
