From August 4 to October 3, Daecheong ho Museum of Art will hold the 2023 CMOA DAECHEONGHO COMPETITION EXHIBITION.
The ‘CMOA DAECHEONGHO COMPETITION’ is now in its eighth year. For the 2023 exhibition competition, exhibitions or works that address the site-specific nature of Daecheongho and contemporary issues of the natural environment were important criteria for selection. The three selected artists (teams), Euyoung Hong, Kimbak Hyunjeong x Son Yuhwa, and Rayeon Kim, will each present an exhibition of projects based on their respective themes.
Euyoung Hong has been utilizing the context of space through three-dimensional works such as installation and sculpture, and focusing on the transformation of urban space. In The Hydrology Project, the artist focuses on the circulating nature of water, which has no beginning or end, and observes the continuity of disparate relationships that occur in water. In Your Face Was Wet, Kimbak Hyunjeong and Son Yuhwa explore their respective mediums by focusing on the surface of water. Kimbak Hyunjeong uses waste fibers as a support to create photographic installations and videos of the Daecheong Lake and its surrounding ecological environment, while Son Yuhwa experiments with her medium by submerging her canvas in water and overlapping the processes of painting in and out of water. In Textual Ecology, Rayeon Kim focuses on the time and memory of Daecheong Lake, drawing landscapes of it and using images, names, and scientific names of plants and animals living in the area. The exhibition features several works set in the natural environment of Daecheong Lake.
