Chung Seoyoung has been influential in expanding the discourse of sculpture and contemporary art in Korea since the 1990s. Known for blurring the boundary between the observer and the object, “sculptural moments,” as referred to by the artist, invite viewers to re-envision sculpture as a vibrant platform, unveiling transient states and their connections.
ππͺπ΅π© π―π° ππ¦π’π₯ π―π°π³ ππ’πͺπ presents works from a transitional phase in Chung’s practice, revisiting the essence of sculpture through “all possible conditions of reference.” The exhibition highlights her early works from the 1990s, where Chung incorporated everyday objects, alongside drawings that bridge the blindspots in perception through language and imagery. The exhibition also includes pieces that are composed of and keenly bring out the subtle innate qualities of materials– such as flooring decals, plastic, and furniture– that elicit socio-economical memories of rapid industrialization in South Korea.
On the occasion of the exhibition, we are pleased to host a conversation between Chung Seoyoung and artist Sung Hwan Kim, moderated by Chief Curator at Hassel Museum and Director of the Graduate Program at CCS Bard, Lauren Cornell. This event is scheduled for 11 am on Friday, March 22nd.
