Jeonbuk Provincial Museum of Art (Director Lee Ae-sun) is hosting the art exhibition "This Sentence is Censored" at the Seosin Gallery Hanok Village Hall in collaboration with independent curators from Jeonbuk during the Jeonju International Film Festival from the 30th of last month. The exhibition, titled "The Art Museum Going to 2025," is curated by independent exhibition planners Lee Gil-bin and Han Jun, with participation from Kim Young-bong, Moon Chae-won, Park Sung-eun, Lee San, and Im Hyun-chae.

"This Sentence is Censored" reflects on the era of self-censorship where discomfort and unease are eliminated by self-censoring, leaving only safe expressions to maintain secure relationships. The exhibition focuses on unspoken emotions, uncollected sentences, and inexplicable forms. Through the works of five artists grasping the remnants of "censored senses," the exhibition prompts a reevaluation of relationships at the boundary between silence and expression. It also provides a space to hand over unspoken words and restore the censorship of silence as a shared sense. By bringing out the unsaid, erased, and folded-away sentences, the exhibition rephrases the declaration and question, "Is this artwork, this city, this sentence censored?"

Curator Lee Gil-bin stated, "This exhibition is an attempt not only to expose the structure of censorship or oppression but also to inquire how we can recover the senses silenced by them," adding, "I aimed to create a space for seeking solidarity of senses through art rather than mere speech."

On the 2nd and 3rd, opening programs related to the exhibition will be held. On Friday the 2nd, the team Artbye will present "Hongbanjang's 0jaks" from 7 p.m., and on the 3rd at 6:30 p.m., artist Lee San's performance "One's eyes" will take place, followed by the team Artbye's performance "Hongbanjang's 0jaks" at 7 p.m.

The exhibition runs until June 1st, with opening hours from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., free admission, and closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Seosin Gallery Hanok Village Hall is a building that was previously used as Jeonju Art Museum, Jeonju Cultural Center, Jeonju City Library, and Jeonju St. Mary's Nursing Education Institute. Particularly, the Art Museum was a space that hosted various exhibitions, including the Jeolla-do Art Festival in 1952, and is an important location in Jeonbuk art history where the Jeonbuk Contemporary Art Festival was held in 1978.
