Installation view of “Seeing What Is Not There” ©Primary PracticePrimary Practice is hosting the solo
exhibition “Seeing What Is Not There” by artist KIM Inbai until October 13.
Working primarily in sculpture, KIM Inbai
has recently been experimenting with expanding the focus beyond superficial
images, extending into the inner essence of forms by considering how they exist
within space.
Paradoxically, the observed result is
closer to a state of something not yet fully realized. In other words, the work
desires attention not as a fixed entity that has become something, but as a
processual existence capable of becoming anything.
Installation view of “Seeing What Is Not There” ©Primary PracticeThis exhibition, “Seeing What Is Not
There,” focuses on sculptural actions that become possible when the ‘invisible’
is treated as a visual subject. The artist proposes modeling or casting
‘absence,’ observing what ‘disappears or visually ceases to exist,’ using these
imperceptible states or situations as catalysts for expanding the realm of
thought. Through these approaches, the artist engages in sculptural experiments
that mediate or represent the act of ‘seeing.’
The exhibition thus invites viewers to
become aware of a space-time that exists between logic and sensation, reality
and imagination, the real and the symbolic, yet remains unrecognized.
