OCI Museum of Art is presenting 《Moments That Form a Landscape》, a two-person exhibition by Mijung Lee and Sejun Lee—selected artists for its 2026 OCI Again exhibition program, which was established out of the museum's desire to foster enduring relationships with the artists it has supported rather than allowing those connections to remain one-time encounters. The exhibition runs through August 1.

The exhibition begins with a simple yet fundamental question: What makes a particular moment appear as a landscape, almost like a painting? Conversely, what conditions allow an image on a flat surface to be recognized as a landscape painting?

The two artists explore the concept of landscape through distinct yet complementary approaches. Moving beyond the conventional representation of natural scenery, they examine what constitutes a landscape and how certain images come to be perceived as landscapes in the first place.

For this exhibition, they extend their dialogue beyond their individual practices by actively intervening in each other's pictorial worlds. A stream painted by Mijung Lee flows beneath a scene reminiscent of a waterfall by Sejun Lee, while Lee's small flames and Sejun Lee's monumental blaze emerge in succession, weaving their respective visual languages into a shared landscape.

In this way, the moments that form a landscape dissolve the boundaries between individual paintings, expanding the entire exhibition space into a single, immersive landscape in three dimensions.

Although each artist constructs landscapes through a distinct visual language, their works converge through a shared understanding of painting as an assemblage. Together, they suggest that what we call a landscape is ultimately a constellation of fragments—countless moments that accumulate, intersect, and coalesce into a larger whole.
