Lehmann Maupin Seoul presents Wonderland, a group exhibition curated by Tae Um. Wonderland unites works by Guimi You, Hyun Nahm, Ken Gun Min, and Mie Yim—four Korean-born artists based in the United States or Korea. The show takes its title from Lewis Carroll’s novel Alice in Wonderland, which describes a fantastic “wonderland” of anthropomorphic creatures. Inspired by the tale, Wonderland synthesizes work by artists of diverse ages, genders, and regions who, in their own distinctive ways, depict imagined contemporary landscapes. In doing so, the artists explore universal questions about what an ideal world might look like. 

In Wonderland, painting and sculpture unfold in brilliant compositions, gesturing towards a futuristic utopia saturated with vivid color. The works on view are deeply invested in nostalgic reminiscence, drawing viewers into contact with intangible memory—something forgotten and vanished that one longs to remember. Transcending temporal and spatial boundaries, Wonderland evokes the mysterious and familiar at once.
