Register for “Chapter 3: Darkness”

Chapter 3: Darkness

“Darkness” is a collaborative art project exploring the inner shadows of our collective humanity.

To foster a dialogue between viewer and artwork, you as the audience are invited to share your deepest fear below.

It all begins with confronting and sharing your deepest fears.

“Darkness”는 우리의 집단적 인간성을 구성하는 내면의 그림자를 탐구하는 협업 예술 프로젝트입니다. 작품과 관람자 간의 대화를 촉진하기 위해, 여러분께서는 전시 오픈 전에 아래에 개인적인 성찰을 나눠 주시길 초대드립니다. 이 모든 과정은 여러분의 가장 깊은 두려움과 마주하고 이를 공유하는 것으로 시작됩니다. 이 커뮤니티 중심의 창작 과정에 참여하셔서, 전시 최종 큐레이션의 방향성과 구성을 함께 만들어 주세요.

After submitting your fear, remember to register for the exhibition.

Multiple days/times are available from February 14th.

You may also read the fears submitted by other people on the “Wall of Fears”.

Yes, we’d love to see you there. The exhibition opens on February 14th at the Uncommon Gallery in Seoul (Gangnam, near the COEX). The calendar of all the events to come is available here, please register in advance (it’s free): https://lu.ma/faerian-chapter3-darkness

Yes, they will be traveling from Poland to the exhibition in Seoul! It will be their first time in Asia. It’s very exciting for them. If you’d like to make them visit your favorite places in Seoul, contact us and we can set something up.
We also have 3 dinners planned with the artists that you can join: Dinner 1, Dinner 2, Dinner 3

Once your text is submitted using the form above, three things will happen.

  • First, the curator and the artists will match some “Fears” to their artworks, resulting in an exhibition curated with your potential participation.
  • Secondly, all fears submitted will be publicly available on our website, using the title/pseudonym you provided, on what we call “The Wall of Fears.”
  • Third, an online and digital artbook may be edited and gifted (along with any artwork sales), referencing all the fears submitted. As it is an anonymous submission, you do not retain commercial or editing rights to your participation.

Your fear may also be the basis of inspiration for a new work from an artist. Follow them for more updates!

The form is anonymous so that you can feel free to express your inner feelings without fear of judgment. Given the particular theme of this collection, we know it can be a sensitive subject, so we need you to feel comfortable.

No. Given all the ethical controversies about AI (lack of consent from artists, stolen works), we make sure to select artists who do not use AI as their primary tool of work.

AI may be used for renders or inspiration, just like they would use stock footage, but over 90% of the work will need to be the artist’s.

AI Network is one of our partners for exhibition purposes only.
We will host a debate on the role of AI in art on Saturday 22nd, February, at the gallery. Please register to attend!

Once the curation happens, we will decide with the artists the different ways to offer you the opportunity to collect the art.

As of now, we can tell you there will be limited edition prints, physical sculptures, NFTs, and more options.

Just contact Cynthia at hello@faerian.art to describe your need, and we will put you in touch with the right artist for you.

Yes, we’re open to all continents and countries, particularly Asia and Europe.

We have plans for Paris and London at the moment.

We will keep you updated about future exhibitions. We may add more artists and reopen the form in the future as time progresses.

Feel free to let us know via DM which city you’re in and would like us to visit.

If you are a physical gallery somewhere in the world and would like to host us, contact us at hello@faerian.art.
