Kiwon Park, Sohee Park: When All Scenes are in Harmony

Line Cultural Foundation is proud to present Project Space Line, a new space devoted to supporting the various works by visual artists, and to launch the space’s very first exhibition, When All Scenes are in Harmony.

The conception for Project Space Line’s inaugural exhibition When All Scenes are in Harmony began with thinking about the placeness and directions for the newly built and opened exhibition space. This exhibition intends to establish a new relationship with placelessness, an idea that is both rational and contradictory. The first phase of organizing the exhibition includes exploring and sharing the placeness of the newly constructed site. The two artists participating in this exhibition agreed to produce new works under the condition of incomplete gallery building, imagining its completed architecture and environment. In the absence of an empirical understanding of the place, the artists interpreted the place and environment in their systems of thought and perception. Simultaneously, they attempted to render their sensorial and cognitive imaginations, within the abstract conditions of the exhibition space and the placelessness of the vicinity.

Featuring works by the installation artist Kiwon Park and botanical artist Sohee Park, When All Scenes are in Harmony offers an imaginary courtyard-like space in the midst of a concrete jungle in the densely-populated financial district of Samseong-dong in Seoul. Despite the use of completely different properties, installation works by the two artists, Kiwon Park and Sohee Park, imbue a similar sense of placeness with formality in the newly opened Project Space Line and facilitate imagination. They project abstract yet transcendental sense of placeness to a site of excessive placelessness. Here, where larger developments are taking place in real time along with on-going developments, elements that seem meaningless, such as air or smell, a placeness in void, and imaginary images that exist in between architectural structures, are given a useful function in the works. The exhibition welcomes the audience to explore extraordinary sensations and experiences.
