[On View - Shimon Kamada: Phantom(‘s) Presence]

“Shimon Kamada: Phantom(‘s) Presence” is now officially open!

As Rotterdam-based Japanese artist Shimon Kamada’s (Shimon Kamada) first solo presentation with the gallery and in his career, this new body of work draws from his photo archives that span his childhood and teenage years in his hometown in Japan, conjuring realms where these images drift, overlap, and intertwine like fragmented memories.

The exhibition title unfolds along a dual register. On one hand, memories return as spectral traces, resurfacing as phantoms that linger within the present. On the other hand, it references the phenomenon of the phantom limb, where absence is paradoxically experienced as presence, blurring the boundary between reality and fantasy. Together, these ideas probe the unstable and illusionary nature of memory as something both fleeting and insistently felt. Additionally, to underscore the plasticity and influx nature of memories, the exhibition will not remain a static presentation, instead it will be restructured mid-way during its exhibition period.

[Dew Kim at Seoul Museum of Art]

PODIUM is delighted to share that Dew Kim () is part of the exhibition ‘AMOR EX MACHINA’ at the Seoul Museum of Art (). The exhibition is curated by Gyusik Lee () and is on view until 6 September.

The presentation rediscovers love, which is the human essence that endures even before the immensity of technological civilization. The title (‘love from the machine’) also references the classical concept ‘Deus Ex Machina’ (‘god from the machine’), pcivilization. The title (‘love from the machine’) also references the classical concept ‘Deus Ex Machinam us is love―the fundamental ground of being.

In Dew Kim’s revamped ‘The Succulent Gospel’, the human rib is overlayed with the reproductive mechanisms of succulents, rewriting narratives of creation and origin from a q***r perspective. Bodies beyond normativity mold themselves and lean on one another, sketching the contours of a new community. Like succulents that regenerate from severed parts, the work traces emergent narratives of origin that unfold through relations of pe*******on and dependence.

[Yein Lee at Cukrarna - Accomplice]

PODIUM is proud to share that Yein Lee () is currently presenting her debut institutional solo ‘Accomplice’ at Cukrarna (.art). The exhibition is curated by Ema Ograjenšek () and is on view until 30 August 2026.

Bringing together five sculptures and a ground-based pool installation, Yein Lee’s latest works extend into the architecture of the Parterre Gallery of Cukrarna, forming a landscape of precarious relations that explores conditions of material instability and spatial uncertainty.

The artist approaches form and matter not as fixed entities but as sites of continual negotiation, shaped by forces that exceed stable control. Within Lee’s practice, processes that transform, deform, and adapt resonate with broader conditions of ecological stress and geopolitical volatility, in which environments, infrastructures, and bodies are increasingly exposed to pressure and fatigue, causing instability.

Accompanying the exhibition’s opening was Yein Lee’s performance piece ‘Poursuivant / Pursuers’. Performers interact with wearable sculptures crafted from steel tubing, electrical wire, and epoxy putty, blurring the boundaries between body and object while challenging physicality and the sense of self. Influencing and reconfiguring one another, bodies remain in continuous flux— trapped, embraced, resisting.

[ABOUT SHIMON KAMADA - Phantom(‘s) Presence]

Shimon Kamada (b. 1997, Japan; lives and works in Rotterdam) channels personal memory and subconscious reveries into his evocative acrylic and oil paintings. Drawing from his photo archives, Kamada constructs layered compositions that fuse figuration with abstraction, exploring the nuanced notions of dreamscapes, nostalgia, and loss. His practice extends to woodcut prints and the reworking of secondhand canvases, highlighting the process and accumulation of memory’s layers.

Kamada won the Ron Mandos Residency Award (2020) and worked at Brutus Lab in Rotterdam (2021) as an artist-in-residence. His work was featured in group exhibitions including PODIUM, Hong Kong (2025); Van Nelle Fabriek, Rotterdam (2024); Enari Gallery, Amsterdam (2023); ARWE Gallery, Gouda (2022); Wilford X, Temse (2022); Felix Solo Gallery, Nijmegen (2021); Atelier of AVL Mundo, Rotterdam (2021); Het HEM, Zaandam (2020), among others.

Join us at the opening and meet the artist on 13 June (Sat)!

Opening Reception
13 June 2026 (Saturday)
2—7 PM

PODIUM is proud to present “Phantom(’s) Presence”, Rotterdam-based Japanese artist Shimon Kamada’s () first solo presentation with the gallery and in his career.

In this new body of work, Kamada draws from his photo archives that span his childhood and teenage years in his hometown in Japan, conjuring realms where these images drift, overlap, and intertwine like fragmented memories.

From hometown streets and domestic settings to scenes of natural sublimity and surreal dreamscapes; the artist bathes each composition in skewed light, melancholic shadows, and psychological tension to render a series of enigmatic narratives, revealing the fragile and elusive nature of remembrance.

Artist will be present at the opening, and we look forward to welcoming you at the gallery!

[Dew Kim at CR Collective - Sacrificium]

PODIUM is proud to share that Dew Kim () is currently presenting his solo exhibition ‘Sacrificium’ at CR Collective (). The exhibition is on view until 27 June 2026.

Inspired by the Genesis narrative of ‘Adam and the rib’, in which gender binaries and hierarchies are unsettled through the notion of hybrid bodies, the presentation constructs a charged environment where ritual sites and q***r practices overlap uncannily, where he probes how bodies intersect, merge, and are performed across the intertwined systems of religion and sexuality. 

Rejecting the ideals of innocence, purified morality, and normative relations, Kim proposes a q***r framework grounded in entanglement and interdependence where bodies are relational and co-constituted—converging, proliferating, and binding together through the oscillations of pleasure and pain, dependence and trust.

[Luis Xertu - Amour Aquatique]

In At the Ditch (2026), Luis Xertu transforms darkness into a liquid threshold. Two men, half-submerged, drift amid aquatic plants and falling leaves that stir gentle ripples across the scene. The man on the right, distinct and luminous, emerges in weathered newspaper tones; his counterpart on the left retreats into shadow, his features lost, his body half-consumed by oblivion. Their eyes do not meet. The space between them trembles with quiet tension—time itself made visible: the evident past gazing longingly toward the unknown, while the future looks into uncharted realms.

As the seasons shift and the foliage turns to gold, the viewer wonders whether the current will close the distance between them or seal it in perpetuity. In Xertu’s aqueous world, longing and remembrance flow like tides—ebbing, glimmering, and dissolving—revealing love not as a fixed emotion but as a fluid continuum between embrace and disappearance.

[Minouk Lim - Amour Aquatique]

Minouk Lim’s new multimedia paintings interlace industrial and organic materials, creating cosmic mandala-esque portals that visualise the atomic chaos of the universe. In Ancient Applause (2026), the artist composes a scene of poised expectancy resembling a still moment charged with the pulse of something about to emerge. Striking ultramarine and violet hues unfold across a ground of terracotta powder, edged by luminous rings of golden yellow. Two cyclic motifs appear in parallel, their mirrored alignment recalling the celestial choreography of a solar eclipse—a fleeting convergence of darkness and light, concealment and revelation. Eight cuttlefish bones lie upon the surface, circling the intersection of the double eclipse. Their arrangement suggests a constellation or ritual formation, just as a quiet gathering of organic relics awaiting a quantum birth.

The title endows the work with a resonance that echoes from deep time—an ovation offered not to performance but to existence itself. It evokes the primordial vibration that first stirred the cosmos, the universe’s earliest gesture of affirmation. Through this delicately assembled composition, Lim transforms colour into resonance and silence into rhythm—an ancient applause that continues to shimmer softly across the expanse of time.

[FEATURE - OMYO CHO in PUBLIC ART MAGAZINE]

Omyo Cho () is featured in the May 2026 edition of Public Art Magazine (). Independent curator Sungah Serena Choo (.serena.choo) deepdives the artist’s oeuvre, exploring her several showcases at the Seoul Museum of Art, Soorim Cube, Sehwa Museum, among others.
 
’Omyo Cho’s sculptures naturally evoke the language of deep-sea life forms or posthuman beings. Yet, what holds our gaze over time is not what these forms resemble, but the fact that they are presented before us in a state not yet fully fixed. Beyond offering a completed body, they embody processes of melting, cooling, enduring, hanging, seeping, and hardening. In other words, what Cho sculpts is less a portrait of a future life form than a threshold—just before matter shifts into the state of the other.‘

Cho’s works are currently exhibited at the gallery in ‘Amour Aquatique’. For more information, DM or send us an email at [email protected].

[Soyoung Chung - Amour Aquatique]

In Condensation (2023), Soyoung Chung explores the fragile choreography between transformation and stasis. Cast in aluminium and resting on a translucent acrylic, the ephemeral sculptural installation creates the illusion of condensed watermarks floating above a thin layer of ice—a mirage suspended between presence and disappearance. The work captures an instant in geological and atmospheric time, where traces momentarily gather before dispersing and evaporating. Aluminium, a metal forged for permanence, assumes an aqueous temperament as it disregards the rational grid lines of the brick pedestal and sage green terrazzo tiles below. Here, the process of condensation becomes both a visual and conceptual encapsulation of time: what might have flowed and vanished instead lingers, refracting light and thought into an uncanny awareness of the liminal.
