Isaac Julien: Playtime at Platform-L Contemporary Art Center, Seoul

Curated by Manu Park, the solo exhibition (22 February - 30 April 2017) includes PLAYTIME (Seven Screen Installation), 2014, which explores the dramatic and nuanced subject of capital, Kapital, 2013, a two-screen documentary, which includes the artist in conversation with leading academics such as David Harvey and Stuart Hall, and The Leopard, 2007, which brings together baroque pageantry and metaphor in a work that, referring to journeys made across the Mediterranean by Asians and Africans trying to enter Europe by sea, experiments with notions of cultural entanglement and the dissent between aesthetics and politics.
