>153_wo>818_word_end<_end<, an exhibition project to be held at the Kumho Museum of Art from February 16 to March 27>683_wo>818_word_end<_end<11, is about rhymes that are found in images >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< languages, >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< the rhythms that these rhymes conjure up.This exhibition began with the questioning of the role >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< meaning of a theme in planning a contemporary art exhibition >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< how diverse works of individual artists in a group exhibition are linked to each other to create a narrative.In this exhibition, the curator >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< the participating artists work together to compose a single story >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< find a rhythm that in the end lead to harmony.

Rearranged >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< partly divorced from their original contexts that are called habits, they are reflected in the institutional frame >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< social guidelines, to be redefined by usage - a welcome performance inviting everybody to join >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< communicate, no matter what the content.>788_wo>818_word_end<_end<s>269_wo>818_word_end<_end<>270_wo>818_word_end<_end< is a temporal concept that comes from an old sci-fi drama.‘>269_wo>818_word_end<_end<' is an imaginary concept, but it in a way overturns the narrow >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< linear idea of time that we presently use (the Gregorian calendar), >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< stimulates the senses towa>818_word_end< a more multi-layered idea of time.Through this work, time is recomposed into one that has loopholes everywhere, where the past-present-future are intertwined, >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< where violence has been banished from our lives but is somehow still preserved.It is universal rather than terrestrial. The numbers engraved on the tombstone are connected to the artist>783_wo>818_word_end<_end< personal memories (the artist>783_wo>818_word_end<_end< birthday >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< the day his mother passed away), but they may be replaced by the viewer>783_wo>818_word_end<_end< memory, which may be personal, public, about people or lives that are dead, or linked to a specific period.Therefore, the numbers may be engraved infinitely.The possibility for infinite series is the key point of this tombstone object.>269_wo>818_word_end<_end<>793_wo>818_word_end<_end<

>817_wo>818_word_end<_end<>818_word_end<floor shows images >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< texts. Especially, it speaks about the way of expression >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< the meaning of texts >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< images.>820_word_end<s>822_word_end<>249_wo>818_word_end<_end< is about the incomplete story of humans on their inner >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< outer sides.Viewers are left to complete the story by seeing, reading, >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< interpreting the images >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< text (poem) in their own way.The two-channel video work shows a c>799_wo>818_word_end<_end799_wo>818_word_end<_end< a heart burning up for four hours on the left screen, while on the right screen, a poem composed by the artist herself goes up like subtitles in a film.

She hesitated for a moment, but her fatigue got the better of her, >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< she nodded in agreement.
I looked around >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< opened my chest. And I put a straw right under my heart >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< turned on the vacuum cleaner >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< sucked her inside.
Since then, I have been able to lead a quiet >471_wo>818_word_end<_end< like other people.

Nadim Va>818_word_end>783_wo>818_word_end<_end<>449_wo>818_word_end<_end<(>360_wo>818_word_end<_end< is a 10-frame animation based on a historical photograph from the 1880s that shows an early archetype of the “motion picture”.By retouching the original photograph >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< dividing it into a sequence of frames, Va>818_word_end799_wo>818_word_end<_end< creates a circular movement.A zoetrope is a device that produces an illusion of action from a rapid succession of static pictures.The term zoetrope is from the Greek wo>818_word_end471_wo>818_word_end<_end<," >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< “τρ>846_word_end<>847_word_end<>848_word_end<- tropos,” meaning "turn."It may be taken to mean the "wheel of >471_wo>818_word_end<_end<.">850_word_end<s>852_word_end<>249_wo>818_word_end<_end< involves throwing mud lumps at a white gallery wall.Taking full advantage of the mud>783_wo>818_word_end<_end< highly viscous >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< easily shapeable characteristic, Cho creates a new form of vertical l>799_wo>818_word_end<_end< onto which a poem, written in both Korean >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< English, is projected >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< from which the text escapes freely.The exodus begins when the content of the poem migrates to an unknown territory.Presented for the first time at the Space of Korean Women>783_wo>818_word_end<_end< History in 2006, it was shown once again at the 2008 Gwangju Biennale.For the exhibition at the Kumho Museum of Art, a slightly different form of mud poem will be realized.>511_wo>818_word_end<_end<>512_wo>818_word_end<_end<, one of Cho>783_wo>818_word_end<_end< action poems, is a three-part music score that improvises onomatopoeic sounds.

In o>818_word_end818_word_end799_wo>818_word_end<_end<, for this work, each metal has been conferred an independent form without being mixed. In the abstract sense, the metals have gone through purification, extraction, >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< transformation in the process of being given forms.This work focuses on the materiality of coins, revisualizing them in a poetic way.Abbreviation, metaphor, >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< analogy have been used as a visual vocabulary in their elaboration.For>615_wo>818_word_end<_end<>249_wo>818_word_end<_end<, small holes of various sizes are punched into a piece of laminated wood. The size of the holes corresponds exactly to the sizes of European Euro coins >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< Korean Won coins.The holes correspond to the coins in size, but they only evoke the coins that do not actually exist. The laminated wood where the coins no longer exist >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< which only bear the traces of the coins are sorts of a “negative form.” That negative form dispenses with positive existence, but the traces of the existence that has disappeared end up underlining >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< even reconstituting the disappeared existence.Mladen Bizumic's>655_wo>818_word_end<_end<(1894->360_wo>818_word_end<_end< is a series of collage-photographs taken fromModerne Neubauten aus Deutschl>799_wo>818_word_end<_end<(Modern New Buildings from Germany) architectural portfolio originally published in 1894.He bought the portfolio in the antique book shop in >667_wo>818_word_end<_end<, Berlin because she could not resist its precious, seductive >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< fragile surfaces rather than its subject matter - the then - new buildings which today either do not exist or are very old.But he wanted to give it a new >471_wo>818_word_end<_end<, perform something that happened between the then >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< the now - something more 'modern,' something that happened in the 20th Century.Each offprint photograph has been re-cut >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< re-designed; the added patterns introduce >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< activate the new space in-between the viewer >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< the photograph—the past >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< the present, the 19th Century >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< the 21st Century.Suspended in both space >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< time, they make us wonder: how do we read images in different contexts?This is an attempt at moving beyond the simple category of 'photography,' >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< asks us to consider the way we look at pictures.If photography is 'frozen time,' Bizumic wants it to melt >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< become liquid again.There is no full stop here, only a comma!Ute Müller>783_wo>818_word_end<_end<>725_wo>818_word_end<_end<>270_wo>818_word_end<_end< proposes a moment of disappearance, a continuous painting over >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< repainting of single elements in the course of the pictorial progress that is of central significance.The unfinished, roughly sketched is set into the picture in the same way that a conventional image is built up.The motif being detached from a linear narrative context traverses, due to gradual reduction >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< abstraction, a process towa>818_word_end799_wo>818_word_end<_end< defines a variable, >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< on the other formulates an independent presence.The scrutinizing of image-values leads the viewer to the ephemeral >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< inaccessible in the work. Characteristic of this is the spatial contrast of construction >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< disintegration.New relations arise, setting in motion a reflection of the status of the image. What is brought into focus is that which withdraws evidence, which confronts us in its strangeness.Materiality >799_wo>818_word_end<_end< visibility lead the gaze to the absent, towa>818_word_end799_wo>818_word_end<_end
