Installation view of 《Melancholia》©Primary Practice
Primary Practice presents a group exhibition 《Melancholia》 on
view through October 11.
This
exhibition reflects on ”depression“ as a discursive category that has haunted
our bodies in manifold forms and interpretations over the past century.
It
examines the mechanisms of social regulation, norms, repression, and control
imposed upon the body, as well as the structures of belief that sustain
reality. At the same time, it traces the trajectory by which the collapse of
such convictions engenders a personal void that resonates with collective,
social, and historical loss.
The
participating artists, each in their own way, explore the places, forms, and
realities where today’s melancholy dwells, investigating ”depression“ on
multiple scales – personal, collective, and historical –.
Participating
Artists: GIM
Ikhyun, KIM Daum, LEE Dong Hyuk, JANG Jinseung
