Statement

The ATTACHING & DETACHING project consists of three parts: Beijing (RED GATE RESIDENCY), Shanghai (STUDIO GALLERY), and Berlin. I live and work in China as a South Korean citizen. I studied at Tsinghua University and worked at Huan-tie and Hei-qiao studios in Beijing from 2006 to 2012, and have lived in Shanghai since 2012. I currently live in Shanghai and Seoul. I have a map of my diary documenting my daily life and work in China over 12 years, including time spent in Frankfurt, Germany in 2006. Using this diary, I aim to create a map of my past. I also explore the tension of time, change, and my relationship with my neighbors and myself, particularly recalling the deep cold sensibility of Germany (outside Berlin). I aim to connect my present self with my past self, hence the title “Attaching and Detaching.” Ultimately, this project expresses my fears and vulnerabilities, and I hope to connect with new neighbors in Germany.

GlogauAIR Project

paralysis – The 《paralysis _麻痹》(Beijing, 2012) is based on my experience with physical paralysis; it marked the beginning of my ‘Main from the body, not from the spirit’ theme. Recently, I’ve experimented with attaching and detaching painting materials from the brush, using various dispensing methods to create shapes, prioritizing physical experience over visual contact. During my 40-day Shanghai residency in 2018, explored differences in texture, surface, mass, and weight using simple found materials. Many pieces retain a raw, imperfect quality, which I find compelling. focuses the viewer on the process of appreciation – the ‘act of visual reading’ – rather than the final result, connecting external formal experiments with internal subject matter. In Berlin, I will continue exploring ‘the act of visual reading’ through ‘placement’ and ‘composition’ over six months.
