“Incorporeal Landscape” Installation view ©Gallery HyundaiAs a part of a newly launched project ‘Edition R,’ Gallery Hyundai presents “Incorporeal Landscape,” a group exhibition featuring Minjung Kim, Yun-Hee Toh, and Chung Zuyoung, through April 14.
‘Edition R’ aims to revisit Gallery Hyundai artists’ earlier artworks, reevaluate their artistic effectuation from a contemporary lens, and revive their past presence in the present. By displaying the continuum of artists’ creative endeavors from the past to present and future, ‘Edition R’ proposes an enriched and multidimensional perspective towards aesthetic journeys throughout the artists’ oeuvre. “Incorporeal Landscape,” the first exhibition of ‘Edition R,’ introduces a diverse world of artworks, bringing together around 20 earlier works of the three artists, under the theme of ‘landscape.’
In Chinese characters, the term ‘landscape’ (風景) can be interpreted as ‘the scenery created by the wind.’ It signifies the world that unfolds before our eyes, a space through which the wind passes between the observer and the object—the world we face. Broadly encompassing the concept of landscape from the tangible reality to the invisible scenery beyond, Incorporeal Landscape introduces the individual ‘landscapes’ perceived in the earlier works by Minjung Kim, Yun-Hee Toh, and Chung Zuyoung: from Minjung Kim’s aesthetic interpretation of the relationship between human and nature, to Yun-Hee Toh’s internal landscapes that slowly emerge into reality from the imperceptible awareness, and to Chung Zuyoung’s re-adaptation of previously adapted landscapes, challenging the very concept of landscape itself.
