Primary Practice Seoul

At Liste 2026, Primary Practice will present the work of RohwaJeong, one of Korea’s important conceptual artists, alongside that of Whistle’s young painter Dongho Kang. RohwaJeong is an artist duo consisting of Noh Yunhee and Jeong Hyunseok. By repeatedly engaging in processes of mutual persuasion, internal checks, and critique, the two artists secure an objective point of view and thereby sustain the fictional identity and singularity of “RohwaJeong.” The key notion of “relationship,” grounded in this very structure of their formation, now extends to the many boundary surfaces that undergird our contemporary condition. In this presentation, it interweaves closely with Kang’s works, forming relations that traverse reproduced images and what lies beyond them. Kang’s new paintings, which fragment narrative and reassemble it into filmic scenes in order to experiment with a painterly syntax, enter into a chain reaction with RohwaJeong’s works, which observe everyday phenomena as “events” and draw viewers into processes of interpretation and misreading. Together they elicit a more three-dimensional and stratified mode of viewing and resonance, and further, an affective sensibility.

RohwaJeong is an artist duo consisting of Noh Yunhee and Jeong Hyunseok. The two members are constantly engaging in a process of persuading one another, using an internal system of control and criticism to ensure that the audience’s perspective is taken into account. They maintain both singularity and a virtual identity in the form of “RohwaJeong.”
Rohwajeong have had solo shows at Ssamzie Art Space (Seoul), Amado Art Space (Seoul), Space Willing N Dealing (Seoul), Künstlerhaus Schloss Balmoral (Bad Ems), and etc. And their works includes the group shows in MMCA Korea (Gwacheon and Seoul), Seoul Museum of Art (Seoul), Art Sonje Center (Seoul), Arp Museum Rolandseck (Rolandseck), Project Fullfill Art Space (Taipei), the 12th Gwangju Biennale (Gwangju), and etc. In addition, they have participated as a resident artist in la Cité internationale des arts (Paris), MMCA Residency Goyang (Goyang), Nanji Art Studio, SeMA (Seoul), HIAP (Helsinki), and so on.
