THE ROOM

Location: Seoul, South Korea

Year completed: January 2021

General Contractor: SPACE B-E

Artist: Joo-Hyun Bae

The exhibition <The Room> is a solo exhibition by Bae Joo-Hyun, who is deeply concerned about the nature of physical properties. It solves the fragments of thought that occur in the process in several rooms. The artist’s narration of the work and the space that the artist attempts will be read as an infinite space for viewers to understand the artist's inner world.

The artist wants to talk about poetic and thoughtful experiences in a spatial language that unfamiliarizes ceramics made with the minimum materials obtained from nature. The Space was created for the artists’ ceramic and painting artwork to be shown in four divided spaces. Every room was designed by communicating with the artist for her artwork to be shown in the best possible way. Installation and space layout was planned explicitly by differentiating her artwork.

01 The Bare Tree

The act of forming a lump in the process of work involves the unconscious world. The ceramics that are colorless reveal one's emotional image without intention. As a guide to expanding your experience, you will wake up your hidden senses that maximize your emotions.

02 Fabricated Landscape

Soil is the largest part of nature and the earth is made of soil.
Making soil, bringing out inner peace, experiencing it, and comforting it.
I'm working on revealing it again in a visual form.
The most comfortable moment for humans will be the moment to experience nature.
We put everyday objects in the fundamental form of nature, and we put them in the empirical natural world.
I want to recover the relationship by calculating it virtually.

03 Dépaysement

Since ancient times, cotton yarn has been used to pray for long life and health, and as much as its pure color,
have a small use It reminds me of my mother's hand sewing, who used to change blankets when I was young.
When the tea is little by little into the woven cotton thread, when the tea is beautifully thickened,
And at some point, when I want to change the white cotton thread again,
Those sequential times will be noticed only.
The cotton yarn is connected to each other on a canvas-like background board.
The tea-things that support each other, at some point, break up the cotton thread,
The day will come when it will be used as an independent entity.
Through the self-consciousness of the act of seeing, tea-gues placed in unfamiliar places,
Try to experience different uses.
