In the frame of the exhibition, A Tale of Two Cities: Narrative Archive of Memories, Project 7 1/2 reconstructs the historical fragments hidden behind the modern history of Korea and Indonesia stretching from 1945 to this day. The story begins by discovering and recognizing the parallel experiences in modern history that are shared coincidentally or inevitably between the two countries. The Seoul exhibition (July 21–September 3, 2017, Arko Art Center) leads to Gimhae (March 8–29, 2018, Yunseul Museum of Gimhae Arts and Sports Center). And the Gimhae exhibition in March will lead to Jakarta, Indonesia in September and October of the same year.
