Amado Art Space presents 《Point Nemo》 (curated by Ryu Heeyeon), the
winning exhibition of the 12th Amado Exhibition Award, on view through May 3.
The exhibition 《Point
Nemo》 takes its eponymous location, also known as the
Oceanic Pole of Inaccessibility, located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean,
not just of its geo-coordinates but as a starting point to illuminate the
coordinates of the capital. Known as the “spacecraft cemetery,” this remote
site symbolizes the asymmetric relationship between humans and the sea,
exposing the realities hidden beneath technological and capitalist myths.

Installation view of 《Point Nemo》 ©Amado Art SpaceRegarded as an infinite resource where the
invisible accumulate and vanish, the ocean is endlessly depleted under humans.
In this relationship constructed by humans, the sea has been forced to bear
endless ecological costs for the center’s profit, and the exhibition attempts
to visualize the beings and territories excluded under the current lifestyles.
Imagining the fluid, borderless flow of the
ocean, Point Nemo seeks to review those that have become invisible. Taking each
ground floor and basement of the Amado Art Space as above and below sea level,
the sense of the visible and invisible intersecting is explored. Through the
narratives of seven participating artists, the world is compressed and
expanded, questioning the order and balance that operate the present.
