Park Hyunsung, Yoon Sukone: The rest of today going to tomorrow

WHY VISIT

Recently, the art market, hosting grand festivals like never before, has been saturated with similar and repetitive works, overshadowing its dazzling spectacle. The era is marked by a lack of contemporary spirit, with image-based works that depict an era devoid of its essence. The selection of artists and artworks based on investment value, as well as exhibition planning focused on leisure activities and social media, are rapidly departing from the unique path of art. In this context, Park Hyunsung and Yoon Sukwone's work centers on recreating the mimetic experiences from the inception of art and challenging the categorization within the art world. Gallery Jiuhun presents the exhibition "The Rest of Today Going to Tomorrow," where the two artists connect the ever-changing time of modern society, bridging yesterday with today. What the two artists create through "relationships" is the restoration of the space of mimetic experience. "Mimesis" is the practice of capturing the object’s appearance as it is without alteration. Amidst the absence of the subject, in a world teeming with splendid objects, their work will restore a space where more flexible relationships can be formed, taking us back to the beginning of the vivid moments of thought.
