Poster image of 《Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams》 ©Daejeon Museum of ArtThe Daejeon Museum of Art is presenting the
special exhibition 《Tread softly, because you tread on
my dreams》 in Galleries 1 and 2 through November 23.
This exhibition explores the meaning and
reflection of space through the perspectives of contemporary artists on
humanity and the world, featuring over 30 works across installation, media,
photography, and sound.
The exhibition title is borrowed from a
line in W.B. Yeats’s poem Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of
Heaven, and brings together artists Kwak Eve, Kwon Ahram, Yoon Solin,
Lee Eunyeoung, and Hur Yeonhwa.
Visitors first encounter Yoon Solin’s
intimate space reflecting on the separation from a lover, then move into Lee
Eunyeoung’s space resonating with childhood memories recalled by a blind poet
in old age. They are then led to Kwak Eve’s spatial imagination, where the
museum’s external architecture transforms into interior garment-like objects;
Kwon Ahram’s new media-based reconstructions of the relationship between the
real and the virtual; and Hur Yeonhwa’s dreamlike spaces, where the body and
emotions of the digital age are sculpted.
As they wander through these varied
“valorized spaces,” visitors are invited to slowly reconsider the meaning of
space in human life and to encounter the dynamic experimentation of
contemporary art as it extends into physical space.
