Exposition of Project “South-Korea: Unification of States”

SEOUL — For the first time an Aruban artist
launched an art exposition in Seoul, South-
Korea. Nelson González opened his art proj-
ect “South-Korea: Unification of States” last
Saturday at the Youngeun Museum of Con-
temporary Art in Seoul. This exposition is to be
seen from 4 to 19 May.

The exposition forms part of the artists’ project
‘Between Two Waters’ where he uses the con-
cept of integration as art, and art as integra-
tion. He integrates the process of immigration
and naturalization within the Dutch Kingdom
in his art and he travelled around three differ-
ent continents to achieve the required knowl-
edge of the different rituals and customs that
come with this process. Eventually he used this
knowledge to integrate into his piece of art.

The artist started his art project November
2018, visiting Caracas, Willemstad, Miami and
Santo Domingo. In each country he used the
mythology of integration to create art, always
with Aruba linked in. He exposed his art at sev-
eral expositions, now at Seoul and the closure
will take part in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

By invitation and with the cooperation of
the Youngeun Museum of Contemporary
Art, Mondriaan Fonds Amsterdam and Art
Connnection Foundation in Miami he has the
change to make different countries acquaint-
ed with our island Aruba.
