阿拉里奥画廊欣然宣布将参加于2023年10月11日至15日在伦敦摄政公园举行的伦敦弗里兹大师展FRIEZE MASTERS“现代女性”（Modern Women）板块。今年新推出的“现代女性”板块由Camille MORINEAU及其参与创立的“AWARE（女性艺术家档案、研究与展览）”组织共同策划，甄选了11位1880年至1980年间在女性主义进化历程的转折点上起到关键性作用的女性艺术家，并为每一位艺术家策划了独立展位。郑江子(1942-2017)是11位被选中的艺术家中唯一的亚洲艺术家，此次个展将呈现郑江子横跨1966年出道前的自画像至1982年重回韩国后的众多重要作品。

ARARIO GALLERY will participate in the "Modern Women" section of FRIEZE MASTERS 2023, which will be held at The Regent's Park, London, from October 11th to 15th. The newly introduced "Modern Women" section this year is curated by Camille MORINEAU and her co-founded 'AWARE (Archive of Women Artists, Research and Exhibitions)', selecting 11 key female artists who recorded the turning points in women's rights and feminism from 1880 to 1980, curating in dividual booths for each. JUNG Kangja (1942-2017), the only Asian artist among the 11 selected, introduces major works from her self-portrait in 1966, before her debut, until her return to Korea in 1982.

郑江子1942年出生于大邱，1967年从弘益大学西洋绘画系毕业后，在《韩国青年艺术家协会展览》上首次登上韩国艺术舞台。1960-1970年代，作为韩国艺术团体“新展览 New Exhibition”和“第四小组 The Fourth Group”的成员之一，郑江子活跃在那个充斥着强烈的军事独裁和意识形态相对抗的时代。在此期间她通过各种艺术实验发表社会言论，获得了极大的关注。然而，由于其1970年的个展《无实体性》被强制取消，受当时的韩国当局的监视与制裁，郑江子不得不与家人移居新加坡，这一事件导致接下来的十年之久艺术家都不得不中止她的艺术活动。1982年返回韩国后，郑江子通过实验性绘画延续了她在社会意识和身份认同上的尝试与表达。尽管晚年被诊断出胃癌晚期，郑江子仍全身心地投入创作，直到生命的最后一刻。

JUNG Kangja was born in Daegu in 1942 and made her debut in the Korean art scene in 1967 with theafter graduating from Hongik University, Department of Western Painting. Active as a member of the ‘New Exhibition’ and ‘The Fourth Group’ during the 1960-1970s, a time of strong military dictatorship and ideological confrontations, she attempted making social statements through various artistic experiments and garnered significant attention. However, due to government surveillance and sanctions after her 1970 solo exhibitionwas forcibly removed she migrated to Singapore with her family, and as a consequence for over a decade JUNG had to halt her artistic endeavours. Her social consciousness and sense of identity continued through experimental paintings after returning to Korea in 1982. Despite being diagnosed with terminal stomach cancer, she devoted herself to her work until the very end.

郑江子的作品近期参与了韩国国立现当代艺术博物馆（MMCA）策划的巡展《永远年轻：1960-1970年代韩国实验艺术》，展览目前正在纽约古根海姆博物馆呈现，并计划于明年初巡展至洛杉矶哈姆博物馆。此外，阿拉里奥画廊首尔和上海空间也将分别于今年11月呈现郑江子的大型回顾展。

JUNG Kangja‘s work was presented at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Seoul’s <Only the Young: Experimental Art in Korea, 1960s-1970s>, and is currently on view at the Guggenheim Museum in New York and is scheduled to tour to the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles early next year. Additionally, solo exhibitions are planned to be held at ARARIO GALLERY Seoul and Shanghai this coming November.
