ART NAKED Creative Management Group, a new partnership fusion that places special emphasis on visual arts and social and academic events programming, is managing the new private members club LIBRARY, in the heart of Covent Garden. As an anticipation of the revolving series of exhibitions that will be brought to the exclusive new venue, the videowork Desire has no History_Chess by Shin Kiwoun accompanies the event during the evening of 19 March.

New media artist, Shin Kiwoun’s works explore and intersect notions of time, existence, reality and illusion. Shin’s works concern themselves primarily with questioning our own interpretations of these terms. In this series of videoworks, the artist grinds down desirable commodities and even monetary currency to dust, a process that simultaneously terminates their economic value and levels all objects to an equal status.

Shin Kiwoun was awarded the JoongAng Fine Art Prize (2007) and selected for the Bloomberg New Contemporaries Prize (2010). His work has been exhibited worldwide including at the Liverpool Biennale (UK), ZKM (Germany), Marugame Genichiro Inokuma Museum of Contemporary Art (Japan), and the 5^th Seoul International Media Art Biennale, Seoul Museum of Art (Korea). Shin’s works are held in international collections including Korea National Film Archive (Korea) and Obayashi Collection (Japan).
