Incheon Art Platform presents a special
exhibition 《Tilting toward Ground》 on view through October 26.
This exhibition focuses on the sense of
“tilting”—the subtle shift of the body when we detect faint signals, discover
what has been overlooked in familiar landscapes, or attempt to see the world
from a different perspective in search of new balance. Beginning from the reflection
that in an age of efficiency and speed our gaze is often directed upward and
forward, the exhibition questions whether we may in fact be missing the ground
beneath our feet and the minute changes around us.
In this exhibition, “ground” refers to the
physical foundation with which our bodies first come into contact, the strata
where experiences and memories accumulate, and the support upon which artistic
practice begins. “Tilting” is the active gesture of leaning the body toward
this ground in order to encounter the world anew.
《Tilting toward Ground》 highlights the artistic inquiries of eleven contemporary artists
who, by grounding their work, capture subtle layers of change, respond to the
signals of surrounding beings, and attune themselves to the rhythms of a
transforming world to form new relationships.
Through this, the exhibition invites us to
pause our habitual ways of seeing and to sense the shifts held within the
material ground. In perceiving the hidden textures beneath the surface, the
tremors of light and shadow, the time embedded in matter, and the unseen
rhythms of space, we may discover ourselves meeting the world in ways never
before imagined.
