Last day today
Exhibition [Bubble, Dream, Void]
Korean original:
전시 [Bubble, Dream, Void]
Kim Je-won, Yu Ji-won, and Hwang Min-gyu use installation, video, and painting to look at the desires that land and housing in Seoul have drawn, and the emptiness left behind. The three words of the title, Bubble, Dream, and Void, stand for what is happening in Seoul's property market and the attitudes toward it. The artists research fragments in present-day Yeonhui-dong that connect to the past, depict pieces of the environments they actually live in, and draw on footage shot during the pandemic. At Art Space Uisikju (The Necessaries) on the second floor, Yeonhui-dong, 13:00 to 18:00, closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

Installation Art설치 미술Not a single object on a wall or pedestal, but three-dimensional work that changes a whole space and that visitors move through.Read moreClose
01About
Installations are often made for a particular site, and visitors move within them, so where your body stands is part of the looking. The materials can be everyday objects, fabric, video, or sound, and a work may be taken down after the exhibition and never shown again. The term first appears in writing in 1969; earlier, in 1958, Allan Kaprow called the indoor spaces he transformed “Environments.” Do Ho Suh's Seoul Home (1999) is a life-size replica of his childhood home in Korea in polyester fabric and silk on thin metal rods; it folds up for transport, and each time it moves to a new city, that city's name is added to the title.
02In the gallery
Look from several places, outside, inside, and from a distance, and notice how the light, the sound, and your path change.

03Notes
An installation changes the whole space, and where your body stands is part of the looking.

Once you are inside the work, what changes with where you stand?
