“CHALKAK MAGAZINE,” a Seoul-based photo magazine, is set to present its exhibition titled “NEW ASIAN PHOTOGRAPHY & SEOUL VIBE” starting January 26 (Friday) at Shibuya PARCO in Tokyo.
Having started with the inquiry “What is photography?,” the magazine has released three issues, concentrating on emerging Asian photographers, particularly those from Seoul. Notably, the magazine is not only available in Asian markets but also on shelves in bookstores in Paris and Barcelona.
This inaugural exhibition in Japan unfolds in two parts. PART 1 showcases the creations of 15 artists chosen from those spotlighted in the magazine. Notable participants include Kim Moon-Dog, a prominent figure in Seoul’s fashion scene, and Han Ji-hyun, a painter specializing in digital expression.
In PART 2, lifestyle photos and artwork captured with instant cameras like “Sharundesu” by ten influencers from Seoul’s contemporary cultural milieu—comprising illustrators, models, and musicians—will take center stage. The exhibit offers a glimpse into the daily moments of Ryu Doyoung, editor-in-chief of MAPS MAGAZINE, Kang Jiseok, visual director of the graphic design studio ORDINARY PEOPLE, and ADDER ERROR apparel brand, among others. The event will also feature the sale of T-shirts, lululemon, and other items in conjunction with the exhibition.
The original merchandise, such as T-shirts, Rubik’s Cubes, and tote bags, will also be on sale in conjunction with the exhibition.
