PKM Gallery opens the new year with 《From Hands》, a group exhibition on view
through March 21.
This exhibition highlights the
‘handcrafted’ works of six artists—Kim Syyoung (b. 1957), Inchin Lee (b. 1957),
Myungjin Lee (b. 1995), Koo Hyunmo (b. 1974), Young In Hong (b. 1972), and
Chung Chang-Sup (1927–2011)—who focus on the tactile sensibility of the hand at
the intersection of fine art and craft.

In an era where machines and digital
technologies dominate human intelligence, tactile and bodily experiences have
become increasingly precious. The trembling and sensations at the fingertips,
which algorithms can’t easily predict, paradoxically seem to affirm what makes
us human in the age of artificial intelligence.
《From Hands》 illuminates
a boundary-free world where fine art and craft converge, leaving behind the
intangible virtual realm beyond glossy screens to focus on work created through
direct physical engagement with materials.
