Things: Sculptural Practice
DOOSAN Gallery Seoul proudly presents DOOSAN Curator Workshop Exhibition, Things: Sculptural Practice.
Things: Sculptural Practice explores the different means of sculptural practice in the works of four young artists in their early to mid-30s. The three curators, who participated the 6th DOOSAN Curator Workshop program, recognize the current generation artists鈥 natural tendency to use the flat-surface interface in their works in a condition where a secondary and two dimensional visual culture is expanded through flat screen monitors and smart phones. Hence this exhibition asks whether the form of work as was previously referred to as 鈥榮culpture鈥, which is present as a mass within a three-dimensional space still exists today, and what characteristics it may hold if it does exist.
In Things: Sculptural Practice, the words 'things' and 'sculptural practice' are the keywords that are commonly explored by the participating artists. The things presented by the curators of this workshop, focus on the practice of the four artists where they begin with the most basic exploration of form and recognize things by means of different senses, rather than the specific value of things as traditional symbols belonging to the social and cultural spheres. The participating artists of the exhibition demonstrate not the traditional sculptural methods but the present-day sculptural practice of recognizing and creating mass through the selection of materials, methods of production, and the forms of work.
