'LEMONADE' release celebration: aespa world exhibition 'Complæxity' to open in Euljiro on the 8th

aespa will stage a world-themed exhibition to celebrate the release of its second full-length album, ‘LEMONADE’.

Visual expansion and reinterpretation of aespa’s universe According to SM Entertainment and reports across various media on the 1st, ‘Complæxity ‘be inspired’ Exhibition’ is an exhibition presenting works in which contemporary artists reinterpret aespa’s distinctive universe in their own ways. The exhibition shines a spotlight on scenes of reality and virtuality, and choice and cracks within aespa’s universe, using the keyword ‘Complæxity,’ which means complexity. By creating an exhibition space where new sensations and possibilities formed as different worlds and memories collide—images and sounds, objects and language overlapping and responding to one another—will convey to visitors a turning point in the universe where complexity expands beyond mere confusion into new possibilities.

Collaboration between eight teams of artists and storytelling experts This project features eight teams of artists active across a variety of domestic and international fields, adding visual variety. In addition to Meltmirror (MELTMIRROR), a game developer and video producer who directed aespa’s ‘Whiplash’ music video, the lineup includes the dessert studio Confetti.yard, designer Kim Han-seom of the jewelry brand Saeminium, and audio-visual collective company eobchae. Graphic designer Kim Ju-hee, U.S. visual artist Keith Rankin, Japanese illustrator Shikishima Kuuon, and sticker artist Ibuki Sakai also join the project to raise the level of completion. Poet Kim Hae-sol, PUFFYBOOKCLUB and tirorisoft also take part in producing text and storytelling content, adding depth and dimensionality to the exhibition’s narrative.

Free admission with no advance reservations The exhibition will run from June 8 to 28 at the fourth floor of ‘New City,’ a multi-use cultural space located in Euljiro, Jung District, Seoul. Visitors can enjoy free, open access without any separate prior application or reservation.
