2026 Title Match — Inhwan Oh vs. Seo Young Chang: Human Error
This exhibition has ended.
The 13th edition of Title Match pairs artists Inhwan Oh and Seo Young Chang, reframing human imperfection as a source of creativity rather than a flaw, across installation, video and photography.

Five dancers move in unison to a soundtrack built from Girls' Generation's "Genie" and BTS's "Am I Wrong", while cameras strapped to their bodies catch the wobbles a front-row view hides. That is Inhwan Oh's video Razor-Sharp Synchronization, and it sums up this two-artist show: 23 works arguing that human error is where making things starts.
You walk through four galleries over two floors. Oh's half, his first big museum show in 11 years, adds fifteen men in their 20s to 60s performing aegyo, and rainbow arrangements of their own belongings by members of the queer art group he runs. Seo Young Chang's half, "Silicon Vanitas", sets ageing, illness and death against machines that never age. The body cameras confirm what the person half a beat behind at every noraebang already knew.
Budget time for film: Chang's videos alone run over 80 minutes, one of them 41. Entry is free, Korean-language docent tours run daily at 11am and 3pm, and Fridays go until 9pm.
Look for
Razor-Sharp Synchronization
In Oh's six-minute video, five dancers perform K-pop-style unison choreography while cameras on their own bodies show the tremors and differences a frontal view hides.
Aegyo Project
Across seven screens, fifteen male actors aged from their 20s to their 60s perform aegyo, the exaggerated cuteness usually expected of young female entertainers.
Isn't It Beautiful, Like Rainbow, That We Are Not One
Members of Oh's queer art group each picked rainbow-coloured things they own and laid them out in sequence, shown here as photographs and objects.
This Memory
In Chang's 41-minute video, a self-driving birthday cake roams an abandoned hospital after humanity has gone, looking for someone to blow out its candles.
