Everywhere Project - New York

Everywhere Project - New York

Im Ji Bin’s latest initiative, "Everywhere," brings a whimsical and innovative approach to art by transforming everyday spaces into interactive galleries. Known for his charming Bear Balloons and a vision that bridges art with accessibility, Im Ji Bin challenges traditional gallery settings and reaches out directly to audiences through his unique concept of "Delivery Art."

In this project, Im Ji Bin reimagines art’s role in public spaces, aiming to make art more approachable and engaging for a broader audience. Rather than confining his work to the often intimidating and less frequented walls of conventional galleries, he brings his art directly to where people live and interact. This method of “Delivery Art” reflects his belief that art should not be limited by physical space but should be an accessible experience for everyone.

The "Everywhere" project has made notable appearances at the former CHASE building in New York and along 32nd Street in Koreatown, showcasing Im Ji Bin's dedication to integrating art into diverse environments. By placing his endearing Bear Balloons in these locations, he invites the public to encounter art in their daily routines, blending artistic expression with everyday life.

The Bear Balloons, with their playful and approachable design, serve as the centerpiece of this initiative. They are not just decorative elements but symbols of Im Ji Bin’s commitment to making art an accessible and enjoyable part of daily experiences. Each Bear Balloon becomes a delightful surprise in unexpected places, sparking joy and curiosity in those who encounter them.

"Everywhere: The Delivery Art of Im Ji Bin" celebrates the notion that art can and should be an integral part of our lives, seamlessly fitting into the environments we traverse every day. By breaking down the barriers between art and audience, Im Ji Bin redefines the boundaries of artistic engagement, inviting everyone to experience and appreciate art in their own spaces and moments.

This exhibition encourages viewers to see art as a dynamic and interactive experience, rather than a static object confined to a gallery. Im Ji Bin’s project highlights the potential for art to reach out and connect with people on a personal level, making the artistic experience accessible, relatable, and truly omnipresent. Join us in celebrating Im Ji Bin’s vision of a world where art is not confined by walls but delivered to and enjoyed in every corner of our lives.
