On August 13, 2011 we will hold the launch event for Laughing Tree Lab, a new creative venue and production space, located near Noksapyeong Station. Our aim is for Laughing Tree Lab to be a fertile vessel for creation, collaboration, reimagination and inspiration in Seoul. We fully intend Laughing Tree Lab to be a prime point of connection and cross-fertilization between Korean and Expat creatives, as well. The launch event will include a curated group exhibition, live music, video performance and DJs.

2011년 8월 13일, 녹사평 역 주변에 새로운 창작경로이자 작품활동 공간인 Laughing Tree Lab 가 출범한다. Laughing Tree Lab 는 창작과 공동작업, 재구상, 및 영감을 키우기 위한 서울 안의 비옥한 토양이다. Laughing Tree Lab 는 한국과 전세계의 창작자간의 연계와 상호 교류를 위한 주요 기점이다. 출범 행사에는 단체 기획전, 생음악, 행위예술, 그리고 DJ등이 포함될 예정이다.


Walking Directions to Laughing Tree Lab:
Take exit 2 out of Noksapyeong Station, walk straight down the hill to the pedestrian underpass, cross through, head out the right side exit, and walk straight for a block and a half. The entryway is on the left between Buttercup Cafe and Taco Enchilato.

Group exhibition: "In Vitro"

Intended as a playful take on the laboratory metaphor, the theme of this launch exhibition, 'In Vitro,' suggests notions of inception, fertilization, birth, and intentional, creative combinations. At the same time, use of the the term In Vitro is a conscious reflection on the artificiality of the art and performance space. Its a reminder that what we experience therein are extracts from the organic complex of life, isolated in order to facilitate the experimental processes of observation, reflection and synthesis.
