Kyungah Ham will participate in the third iteration of ASIA NOW at Les Salons Hoche in Paris from October 18 to 22, 2017. Launched in 2015, ASIA NOW is Europe’s first boutique art fair devoted to showcasing contemporary Asian art. The third edition of the fair will open on the same dates as FIAC (Foire internationale d'art contemporain) and approximately thirty prominent Asian and western galleries will promote a diverse pool of contemporary Asian artists. Kyungah Ham will exhibit Mona Lisa and the others from the North (2015) as part of a special project at the fair. Previously showcased at the Guangzhou Triennial in 2015, the installation juxtaposes embroidery depicting the Mona Lisa made by North Korean artisans with interviews of North Korean refugees who have settled in South Korea. Ham creates a witty contrast between western culture as embodied by Leonardo de Vinci’s iconic painting and the reality of life in North Korea.
