SWAN SPACE ㅣ 백조우주
<SWAN SPACE> is born from the creative synergy of artists from different corners of the world, bridging New York and Seoul. This project is a collaboration among choreographer and performer Chaery Moon, composer Haeyun Kim, visual artist Younwon Sohn, video artist Chang-goo Kim, and media artists Hayeon Hwang and Seyoung Kim. Together, they meld the realms of dance, music, visual, and media art into a unified artistic expression.
The journey of <SWAN SPACE> began with a pilot performance in Korea in 2023 and is now poised for its USA premiere at Chez Bushwick in New York on May 20th, 2024. It seeks to capture the fleeting, profound moments that punctuate our lives, translating them into a language of movement, sound, and visual wonder. This project is an invitation to pause, reflect, and connect with the nuances of our experiences and emotions, offering audiences a rich, immersive journey through the essence of the human spirit.
With support from the Korean government, the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture, and Jonah Bokaer Arts Foundation’s Chez Bushwick, <SWAN SPACE> celebrates the power of art to transcend boundaries and foster a deeper understanding of our shared humanity.
