With the commencement of the 17th festival Croisements at hand, the solo exhibition "Ciel Terre" by French-based artist Myonghi Kang, curated by former French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin and curator Arthur de Villepin, will on view at TAG Art Museum starting April 28th. Mr. Dominique de Villepin has long been concerned with the development and promotion of Asian artists living in France, while Ms. Myonghi Kang is a renowned contemporary artist of Korean descent living in France.
As part of the 17th festival Croisements programme, the exhibition will be installed in Halls 7 and 8 of the museum, overlooking the coast of the Yellow Sea.
The comprehensive exhibition features around 90 works, including rarely seen early works from the 1960s to 80s, and recent monumental canvases, that invite visitors to embark on a spiritual pilgrimage through the power of nature. Following Myonghi’s previous exhibition in China in 2011 at the Beijing Imperial City Art Museum, Myonghi Kang: Ciel Terre at TAG marks the artist’s presence once again in the region, enabling the public in China to discover over five decades of her oeuvre.
