'SeMA Biennale Mediacity Seoul 2014 is held at the Seoul Museum of Art and Korean Film Archive. Celebrating its 8th anniversary this year, the main theme of Mediacity Seoul 2014, different from its previous themes, is "Asia". The continent of Asia has shared experiences of intense colonization, the Cold War, rapid economic growth and social change in a short period of time, but rarely were there any exhibitions that took this theme as their main subject. Hence, through the keywords of "Ghosts, Spies, and Grandmothers", this exhibition will look back on contemporary Asia. Ghosts stand for the forgotten history and traditions of Asia, spies symbolize the memories of the Cold War, and the grandmothers are metaphors of "women and time". The exhibited works, however, can transcend such themes or make a detour around them to present themselves in the state of ample possibility vis-à-vis the viewers. The three keywords are thus three passages entering into the exhibition.' - from the event website
