SPACE ÆFTER presents 《Catch Ball》 an exhibition bringing together three significant contemporary
artists—Jongho Park, Jong Oh, and Xooang Choi—in collaboration with Paddlers,
an artist-led limited edition platform inaugurated in 2025, through June 1.
Paddlers, helmed by visual artists Ok Hyun
Ahn and Goseong operating between Seoul and New York, emerges as a collective
initiative aimed at reconfiguring the commercial gallery-centric art market
paradigm. The platform seeks to expand the possibilities for art engagement by
creating pathways for enthusiasts to acquire museum-caliber works.

Paddlers proposed printmaking projects to
these three artists—each known for their distinctive trajectories in painting,
installation, and sculpture. The collective has orchestrated a comprehensive
artistic engagement that spans from initial conception through production,
circulation, acquisition, and beyond.
In 《Catch Ball》, the three
artists each present new print series that explore how images could emerge
through material contact and transformation, using methods of compression and
surface engagement.
Participating Artists: Jongho Park, Jong Oh, Xooang Choi
