In October South Korean artist Ha Cha Youn will present simultaneously in two exhibition spaces the "Home(s) Project", which she has been developing for years and exhibiting in numerous art galleries around the world. The full exhibition will be presented in Ośrodek Sztuki Lescer in Zalesie Górne, while one video work will be shown in the Korean Cultural Centre in Warsaw.

The idea behind "Home(s) Project" is to explore living conditions as a basic need of every human being. During a two-week stay in Zalesie Górne (an artistic residence) Ha Cha Youn will create her home in the gallery space, introducing Korean aspects of thinking about living space. Today's rooms of Lescer used to be the home of the Wisłocki family and were created as their private territory. To this day, furniture and other traces of life have remained from that period - the pre World War II years. The artist will create a dialogue between her home and someone else's, whose area she has settled. As part of her exhibition she will create an installation corresponding to the interiors of the Wisłocki Villa. She will also present video works and large-format photographs. During the opening in Lescer the artist will welcome guests as a hostess, inviting them to her home.
