PBG presents a solo exhibition of Lee Heejoh "The Dialogue". The exhibition extends the everyday dialogue that the artist has been exploring and constitutes a story of a small cafe reminiscent of cold windy day. The backdrop of the exhibition is cafe situated in a lonesome, red-brick buildling where the barista and visitors share their stories. People take photos, read books, or meet their friends - Everyday moments in this cafe are translated by the artist's point of view. The artist wishes to share the meanings in small moments with the audience as if she's having a dialogue. The exhibition expects to be a place to think of personal lives and share dialogues in a world that everyone can understand.

Lee Heejoh transforms pieces of everyday life into flat forms and rearragnes them on canvas. Objects, places, one's belongings, relationships, memories and emotions are key factors of the artist's work. Particularly, she calls the pieces of life puzzles. She sees them in a holistic view: they are one signel form and structure, rather than individual elements to disect or analyze. What is important in puzzles is that the possibility of connection to another, which is also why she finds similarity with our lives
