Matthew Barney : Creamaster
1999. 11. 19 ~ 11. 20
Matthew Barney is an internationally acclaimed artist, whose works illustrate provocative and sensational images of mutated bodies, mythological images, and sexual symbols. The Creamaster is one of his best works that concomitantly embraces both Hollywood and avant-garde movie styles. Artsonje will play the first and fifth video work from the series. Creamaster 1 metaphorically illustrates body parts and sexual symbols through performances acted out at a football stadium. Creamaster 5 portrays the unique, mythological visions the artist experienced through his fantastic travels in Budapest.

Douglas Gordon : Feature Film
2001. 3. 23 ~ 3. 25
Douglas Gordon, who is one of the leading young contemporary British artists, has made Feature Film in 1999. This movie has filmed and edited the hand and eye movements of James Colon, the composer of the Hitchcock movie, Vertigo. By using familiar music of the Hitchcock movie to create audible and visual memories, the film experiments with collisions caused by such memories and memory disfunctions.

Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster : Plages
2002. 4. 26 ~ 4. 27
One of the participating artists in the exhibition Less Ordinary, Dominique Gonzales-Foerster's Plages was shot while traveling to Rio de Janeiro. This series portrays "emotional images" experienced while traveling throughout the city, and features three different stories at a beachside of Copakabana where a festival had taken place. Comprised of narrations and texts, the Plages puts the viewer at a place in-between reality and imagination through the existence and crossing of different points of time - past, present, and future.
