Kang Contemporary presents art of a multiplicity of media which explores the crossings of mental and physical space.

About

The innate loop in which people shape their surroundings and in turn are shaped by their environment leaves its traces all throughout this exhibition. In this kind of interplay, Mind cannot be over Matter. With this exhibition, Kang Contemporary showcases the relationships between mental and physical spaces. Focusing on intrusions and intersections, therefore, denying any isolation between Art, Space and People complicates these entities and troubles clarity of interpretation. At the same time, it opens the possibility of discovering a plethora of connections and correlations which are tangent to everyday life. 

Neither art nor artists exist and create in a vacuum. In this exhibition, artists are brought together to show the various ways in which physical and external matter infuses minds. From whimsical observation of changes in the landscape to explorations of the dangerous fascination to own what is outside of human control. As with any long-term relationship the connection between humans and the surrounding world is a complex web of endless experiences and sensations, therefore, this exhibition is just a glimpse into one of the most influential and inconspicuous kinships of human life.

The `qbit to Adam` performance which  Chan Sook Choi created for her show at the MMCA, Seoul explores the remnants of a mummy which was discovered in a copper mine in Chile. 

The soft medium of Annette Cords’ tapestries which refers back to a pre-industrial era collides with the motif of city lights and billboards, concrete, neon signs and graffiti that illustrate today's urban life. 

Wolfram Wickert´s “historic and cultural maps” are inspired by the visual vocabulary of hand-drawn Chinese maps, they depict European and Asian landscapes across several centuries.

Jazoo Yang explores construction zones, parks, and abandoned buildings in search of materials for her works. The artist then eternalizes them in resin molds.
