Leeum Museum of Art in Seoul opened the current edition of Art Spectrum, its flagship biennial art show, with [the group exhibition Dream Screen](https://www.leeumhoam.org/leeum/exhibition/81?params=Y&ref=kinoki.co). The organizers have expanded the scope of the biennial to include artists from beyond the South Korean scene. More than [26 artists/teams from 11 countries are presenting over 60 works](https://www.frieze.com/article/frieze-week-magazine-seoul-2024-major-museum-exhibitions?ref=kinoki.co), of which 23 have been specially commissioned for this occasion. Participating artists include Riar Rizaldi, Bo Wang, Vivien Zhang and others.

Dream Screen is centered around the notion that artists of the Millennial and post-Millennial generations do not have a perception of the physical world which is diametrically opposed to that of the rest of their peers. Instead, the proliferation of digital technologies – computers, smartphones, video games, and films – has had a marked influence on that perception, placing a digital veil that mediates between tangible reality and the viewer, [overloading her with information, sensory stimuli and narratives](https://www.orientations.com.hk/other-events/2024-art-spectrum-dream-screen?ref=kinoki.co).

This disconnect in the perception of spatiality and temporality sparks feelings of unease and horror that reverberate through the work exhibited at Dream Screen. These feelings are employed by the artists to create, among other forms, [compelling works of video art](https://www.threads.net/@bartdekker/post/C%5FjtDi8yVwB?ref=kinoki.co) which serve as motivation, as device or as a pathway to liberating themselves of this existential anguish. This is, likewise, reflected in the conceptual and spatial layout of the exhibition, which is reminiscent of [the famous “haunted” Winchester House in San Jose, California](https://winchestermysteryhouse.com/?ref=kinoki.co). Inspired by its complex structure, the museum's Black Box and Ground Gallery is divided into courtyards, hallways, a living room, and 20 different rooms, throughout which are placed diverse artistic positions.

Thai artist [Rirkrit Tiravanija](https://www.davidzwirner.com/artists/rirkrit-tiravanija?ref=kinoki.co) is the artistic director of Art Spectrum 2024\. The exhibition is curated by Hyo Gyeung Jeon (Curator, Leeum Museum) and Jiwon Yu. A series of talks is scheduled to take place with the curators and participating artists, together with two musical sessions and [a series of Asian horror films organized by the Korean Film Archive](https://eng.koreafilm.or.kr/cinematheque/programs/PI%5F01554?ref=kinoki.co). Dream Screen is on view through December 29, 2024\.
