Hosted in residency European Pepinieres in South Korea by the East Atelier Gallery, Alain Wergifosse presents at the end of his stay in Seoul, his first solo exhibition in the “land of the morning calm”. This one presents a selection of photographs, videos and sound pieces to listen to. It will also be the subject of a presentation of this work by Alain Wergifosse and Philippe Franck who is the artistic curator of this exhibition during the opening on September 7.
The residency will be a time of research and production of the exhibition and will also serve the artist for the final mixing of the organic/electronic pieces constituting the album “Flow & Densities” on the Transonic label, a first stage of which had been initiated on the occasion of the Vice Versa – Creation/Research residency between La Chambre Blanche (Quebec) and Transcultures (Belgium) in 2020, during the period of confinement due to the pandemic.
A first mini album “Flux & Densités [prologue]” had been published on Transonic’s bandcamp on this occasion. “Flow & Densities” is the revised and remixed version on digipack CD and digital media (also on Transonic).
