This item documents Let Us Dance and Burning Love which were both commissioned and exhibited for Spectrum,Spectrum, at PLATEAU Museum, Seoul in 2014, showcasing diverse contemporary Korean art. Let Us Dance was a flash mob performance staged each Saturday of the 2 month exhibition by a different group of volunteer teenage street dancers, who entered the gallery space, danced to a soundtrack of their own choice from their mobile phones and then left. Developed in parallel with Let us Dance, Burning Love (2014) is a large embroidery work based on a magnified archival image of the teenager’s 2008 candlelit demonstration.
