'The show Cosmo Cosmetic alongside the reopening of Coreana Cosmetics Museum after its renovation, is intended to bring to light the socio-cultural aspects of cosmetics through the discourses of nine contemporaneous artists. Moving beyond the unessential conception of cosmetics that makes your face look more beautiful or improves your appearance, the exhibit expands its definition as something complexly involved in socio-cultural structures, human psychology, human life and identity. This is to reinterpret the meaning of cosmetics as one of the ways to communicate with the world from the viewpoint of cultural history.' - Bie Myung-Ji, Curator of Space C. With foreword by Yu Sang-ok, Director of Coreana Cosmetics Museum. Artist biographies are also provided.
Other participating artist includes Ana Laura Alaez.
