APOproject SEOUL presents a two-person exhibition 《Mass
Landscape》
by Geunho Ko and Intan Kwak, on
view through July 25.
This exhibiton is presented as an extension
of APOproject’s Candelabrum Project. Now in its fifth iteration, the
Candelabrum Project began with a question concerning the relationship between
artworks, their placement, and the spaces they inhabit.
By departing from the familiar exhibition
format of works displayed on walls and floors, the project presents artworks
suspended from the ceiling, creating new relationships within the exhibition
space while reorganizing the viewer’s gaze and movement.
The works of Ko Geunho and Kwak Intan align
closely with the direction of the project in that neither settles into a fixed
form. For a long time, painting and sculpture have constituted the familiar
framework of visual art. Paintings are typically hung on walls, while
sculptures are displayed on pedestals.
This exhibition, however, proposes
alternative possibilities for painting and sculpture through the practices of
two artists who move beyond these established conventions.
Moving between the paintings and sculptures
of Ko Geunho and Kwak Intan, viewers find themselves immersed in a network of
cracks and masses, gazes and expressions. The raised accumulations of paint and
the constantly shifting faces never converge into a single image. Instead, they
reveal the very process of formation, instability, and transformation,
proposing a state that remains open, fluid, and continuously changing.
