Barry McGee is at the forefront of a second generation of artists who have came up from the world of graffiti and street art. In his first solo exhibition in Seoul, McGee allows his mind to wander. “Everyday Sunrise” moves between the artist’s vast range of interests, and includes a custom surfboard and ceramic sculptures. “I’ve always known that going from a wall to canvas was not the right translation for me. Given an entire wall inside, I could work endlessly. Given a single sheet of paper, I would be stuck indefinitely. With a space like this,” say McGee, “I could keep going forever.” —Clara Molot
