“To the Edge of Scenery” Installation view at ThisWeekendRoom ©ThisWeekendRoomFrom October 6 to November 11, ThisWeekendRoom will present To the Edge of Scenery, an exhibition by Adam Boyd, Chaewon Lee, Mevlana Lipp, and Rim Park.
The title ‘To the Edge of Scenery’ is a metaphor for the way the four artists see the world through lenses with different refractive indexes. Each artist perceives nature through their own lens, taking on new textures, thicknesses, and shapes that are concealed in the urban environment and media.
Adam Boyd uses a digital lens, such as a LiDAR scanner, to capture urban and suburban landscapes. Then Boyd prints them and links them to the fabric of various colors and textures. The connected prints and fabrics become a patchwork that reveals irregular seams.
Chaewon Lee brings white creatures into her imaginary space. The scenes in the paintings evoke a surreal sense of familiarity and strangeness.
Mevlana Lipp starts from the common ground that both plants and humans live in connection with various living things. His reliefs depict vines, leaves, and flower buds in blue hues on a dark screen.
Rim Park focuses on biological changes in everyday life, with a particular interest in microorganisms. She cultivates and observes fungi, and creates works between painting and sculpture based on these experiences. Wooden panels with jagged outlines are given delicate curves, and the paper overlaid on the wood is dotted with fungi.
