As Seoul comes alive with art this September, GALLERY MAC welcomes you to two presentations at Frieze Seoul 2026 and Kiaf SEOUL 2026.

At Frieze Seoul 2026, GALLERY MAC presents a solo presentation of Jungmyung Kim, a senior artist from Busan whose distinctive practice has developed within the broader trajectory of Korean Experimental Art. Centered on his Yellow Line series, created between 1999 and 2000, the presentation offers an opportunity to revisit the artist’s singular body of work and the questions that have shaped his practice over the decades.

At Kiaf SEOUL 2026, GALLERY MAC brings together works by eight contemporary artists: Hyeeun Kang, Eunju Kim, Jungmyung Kim, Hyunsoo Kim, Jinsung Park, Jeong-A Bang, Geonyul Jang, and Munhee Hur. Spanning different generations and distinct artistic languages, their works come together to reflect the breadth and diversity of GALLERY MAC’s program.

GALLERY MAC is pleased to present a solo presentation of Jungmyung Kim (b. 1945, Busan) in the Spotlight section of Frieze Seoul 2026. Since the late 1960s, Kim has developed a singular artistic practice within the broader trajectory of Korean Experimental Art. Trained as a sculptor, he has consistently moved beyond the boundaries of any single medium or genre, working across painting, sculpture, objects, and installation. Through appropriation and parody, often infused with humor and irony, Kim has persistently questioned the distinctions between art and everyday life.

The presentation centers on Kim’s Yellow Line series, created between 1999 and 2000. Taking the yellow markings found on roads—center lines, restricted zones, and other signs of regulation—as both a visual device and a conceptual motif, the series considers how systems of order, restriction, prohibition, and control are embedded in modern life. Through the recurring image of the “yellow line,” Kim draws attention to the boundaries constructed by human civilization, prompting renewed reflection on the divisions between civilization and nature, center and periphery, and the individual and institutional structures.

GALLERY MAC presents eight artists at Kiaf SEOUL 2026—Hyeen KANG, Eunju KIM, Jungmyung KIM, Hyunsoo KIM, Jinsung PARK, Jeong-a BANG, Geonyul JANG, and Munhee HUR—each representing a distinct generation and artistic language.

Bringing together a diverse range of media and practices, the presentation spans established and senior artists who have developed singular visual languages over decades, alongside a younger generation shaping new perspectives through a distinctly contemporary sensibility. Together, their works offer a multifaceted view of the evolving landscape of Korean contemporary art.
