Details

The
exhibition "Lee Kang So: When the Wind Blows the Water" re-examines a
unique series of works created over six decades by Lee Kang So (b.
1943), a seminal figure in the development of Korean contemporary art.
As
a leading artist in the Korean art scene, Lee Kang So has been
conducting conceptual experiments on image perception and recognition.
The
exhibition title "When the Wind Blows the Water" is inspired by the
work "Qing Ye Yin" by the Song Dynasty Neo-Confucianist Shao Yong (Shao
Yong, 1011-1077).
In his work, Shao Yong metaphorically describes a state of epiphany when encountering a new world. Shao
Yong's title summarizes the oeuvre of Lee Kang So, who has long
questioned the many different ways we see the world around us and
continues to conduct conceptual experiments on perception in a variety
of media such as painting, sculpture, installation, printmaking, video
and photography.
Lee Kang So's artistic philosophy, as he himself described his work for the 1975 Paris Biennale, is described in this way. At
the time he said: “I do not intend to depict images in a traditional
way, away from the subject-object relationship, but rather to present an
open structure that reveals the order and relationships in the universe
that are usually invisible, making these invisible states naturally
visible.” (“Participating in the 9th Paris Biennale”, Space, January
1976)
