For its third participation in Asia Now, Galerie Anne-Laure Buffard presents Home, a Duo Show by Korean artists and twin sisters Park Chae Dalle and Park Chae Biole with the participation of Japanese ceramic artist Yoshimi Futamura. Born in 1997 and working between France and Korea, the Park Chae twins practice painting, knitting, poetic writing and sculpture and deploy two singular artistic universes with multiple resonances. Curators of this exhibition project, Park Chae Dalle and Park Chae Biole chose to recreate the world of their childhood home, where their father introduced them to drawing and painting. Through works on canvas and textiles from Park’s Family and Hand to hand series by Park Chae Dalle, installations and paintings on Park Chae Biole’s bamboo blinds, the two sisters sketch out a new way of inhabiting space with which they invite Yoshimi Futamura to engage in dialogue. The ceramics in the Black Hole and Rebirth series, created in response to the Fukushima disaster (2011), will adorn this domestic space, raising questions about the way in which our foundations can suddenly be altered and rebuilt.

At the origin of this project, in parallel with the relationship with the domestic, the notions of natural cycle and recycling play a central role. Avoiding waste is a mantra that intimately links Korean and Japanese cultures. If anti waste and recycling practices are a gesture of daily life, in cooking for example, they also resonate with the way the three artists’ approach.
