Daebudo Island, where Gyeonggi Creation Center is located, is comprised of small islands of Seongamdo Island, Tando Island, and Buldo Island. It is located near Hwaseong City but used to be under the jurisdiction of Incheon, and upon construction of a bridge linking it with the mainland, the island (that is not an island) became incorporated into Ansan. It is at an ambiguous position since it has been through many stages of complicated and multi-layered historical, geographical, and social identities within a relatively short period of time. Standing on its tidal flat facing the faraway shore, one would get the illusion of being peaceful and calm; surrounded by heavy fog rising from the surface of the ocean, one would feel the tide of an illusion of consolation, as if one is away at a faraway country vacation spot and that nothing matters.

People in Daebudo Island used to engage in farming, fishing, or making salt in salt evaporation ponds before the colonial period as their means of supporting themselves, typical of those in places near the Gyeonggi Bay. As the Japanese colonialists built modern facilities designed to exploit local products, they gradually adapted to a new means of livelihood. During the authoritarian regime after the colonial period, the island witnessed a period of unconditional industrial growth centered around the Sihwaho Lake Reclamation Project and industrial complexes such as the Banwol Industrial Complex built in Ansan and Siheung, with administrative decisions on many complicated problems made with a focus on efficiency. In the process, they became witness to some remarkably significant cases in history.

As it was not a coincidence that Gyeonggi Creation Center came to be located in such a scenic place, artists including the painters participating in this exhibition spontaneously and inevitably gathered together in the island and carried out their activities as members of the local community, intuitively sensing memories of the past and undesirable consequences left behind by past projects to ignite their artistic creativity. Rather than trying to confirm the existence of a truth or being which needs to be discovered, this exhibition entitled “In Lonesome Silence and Heavy Sea Mist” intends to shed light on the multi-layered historical experience along with memories and individual perspectives of social situations by examining the current social status of local society with a focus on local pending issues from the perspective of arts.
