Gyeonggi Museum of Modern Art presents its
third exhibition in the 2025 Project Gallery Emerging Artists Omnibus
Exhibition, 《Dream House》, by
artist Nayoung Kang, on view through March 1.
Nayoung Kang focuses on the social
structures surrounding vulnerable individuals in need of care and their
reflections, delicately capturing layers of emotion rooted in personal
experience.
This exhibition begins with the artist's
younger brother's drawings of a "house they would live together in"
that he once shared with his family. This plan, now unattainable after an
accident, serves as a symbolic scene that vividly reveals the gap between the
future the family once envisioned and the present.
The artist expands the exhibition space
with sheet-based installations of his brother's drawings, models, and sketches,
presenting them alongside records of previous conversations. Through these
installations, the artist creates an exhibition space where personal narratives
connect with the viewer's memories and experiences.
《Dream House》
questions the dreams we neglect, the time that has stalled, and the way we live
in the present. Through moments where personal records expand into universal
emotions, it offers viewers a chance to contemplate the intersection of future
and reality, like the "unbuilt house" they harbor within their
hearts.
