In the curated group exhibition ๐˜ˆ ๐˜๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜บ ๐˜›๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ๐˜ข๐˜บ currently on view at the ๐˜๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฌ space of Kukje Gallery, artist Kim Beom subverts conventions and absurdities embedded in objects, language, and systems through humor and irony. His wide-ranging practice spans from painting, drawing, sculpture, video to artist’s books, and questions the fundamental conditions of perception and knowledge.

“Kim Beom explores the vitality of objects inherent in ๐˜”๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ฉ๐˜ธ๐˜ข (Korean folk paintings) and ๐˜Ž๐˜ฐ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ (paintings of oddly-shaped rocks), which have exhibited hylozoism and animism much before these concepts have gained recent popularity in the art scene. Kim’s black comedy presentation is reminiscent of ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฆ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฌ (satirical humor characteristic of Korean folk culture). The style of humor seemed to have vanished alongside the ๐˜ฎ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ซ๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜จ (“the people” who are socially and politically oppressed, exploited, and marginalized), but it re-emerges through his drawings. Neither the animist worldview of ๐˜จ๐˜ช๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ-๐˜ด๐˜ข๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜จ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜จ (spirit resonance and vitality) nor ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฆ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฌ were given much attention from institutionalized tradition—unlike Goryeo ware porcelain, for instance—as they were instead explored by independent folklorists operating outside the mainstream.”– Excerpt from a text by curator Park Chan-kyong
