Bomb, Hum Bomb, Hum Bomb Hum》, a solo exhibition by Cha
Yeonså, on view through October 12.
This exhibition is the first to exhibit the
expanded form of the artist’s ongoing series ‘Festival’, which she has worked
on since 2023. ‘Festival’ originated as papercut collages, using coloured Dak
paper left behind as mementos from the artist’s father, cut into specific
forms.

from forensic textbooks illustrations, silverfish living in damp and dark
places, and poetic words of the poet Kim Unhee as main imagery, were the
laughter of a deed that blossomed amidst the tragedy of human affairs. They
unfolded as gestures of laughter blooming within the tragedy of human affairs.
Following the vivid yellow indignity in her
previous solo exhibition 《Feed me stones》, the ‘Festival,’ which further unfolds and transforms, embraces the
garden in Namyangju, also the studio where the works are created, as another
motif.
