After working at blue-chip galleries including Thaddaeus Ropac and Kukje Gallery, Hyejin Jee founded Sangheeut, the only gallery in Haebangchon, in 2021. Jee envisions the gallery as a platform for stories of her generation, giving artists room to experiment with formats that feel less tied to commercial pressure. Sangheeut has introduced rising voices such as Tokyo-based American artist Michael Rikio Ming Hee Ho, Indonesian multidisciplinary artist Maruto Ardi, and Korean sculptor Eugene Jung.
From August 28 to September 27, the gallery will present “Doorstep,” a solo show by Jisoo Lee. Drawing from her own experience as a woman living alone in Korea—where many adopt camouflage tactics like leaving men’s shoes at the door to deter gender-based crimes or avoid societal pressure—Lee explores the fragile boundaries of private space that have been breached by others.
