AHL Foundation, a non-profit organization supporting contemporary artists of Korean descent, is proud to announce the opening of its 3rd annual Artist Fellowship Exhibition: When Attitudes Become Positions, featuring the 2021yr Artist Fellowship recipients Heehyun Choi, Gyun Hur, Dohee Lee, and Yozmit.

The current exhibition takes inspiration from the 1969 canonical exhibition by Harald Szeemann— When Attitudes Become Forms: Live in Your Head—at Kunsthalle Bern in Germany, which first crystalized a selection of artistic practices that formed Conceptual Art. When Attitudes Become Positions similarly starts from the understanding that materializations of art as objects have grown into becoming attitudes. The exhibition proposes that these attitudes not only materialize as formal visualizations of themselves, but also present a position: individual, social, and political.
