Arcadia A group exhibition with Korean and British artists: Dae Hun Kwon, Victoria Hall and Jin Kim 22 Novemeber 2007 - 12 January 2008 I-MYU Projects, 23 Charlotte Road, London EC2A 3PB Review by Beccy Kennedy Globalisation theory uses the term "time-space compression" ((Harvey, David (1990) The Condition of Postmodernity: An Enquiry into the Origins of Cultural Change. Cambridge, MA: Blackwell.)) to elucidate the concept of a new world without distinct nations, where borders are malleable and hours are reconfigured into seconds through the single tap of a plastic key, where won transmogrify to dollars through the single swipe of a plastic card.
