“YOU SEMINAR TO THE EARTH” Poster ©Seoul Art Space MullaeFrom September 11 to October 6, the exhibition YOU SEMINAR TO THE EARTH will be held on the 2nd and 3rd floors of Seoul Art Space Mullae. This exhibition is a part of ‘2023 UnfoldX ‘, a program that selects and supports artists and curators working in the field of convergence art and this project is curated by Hong Heejin.
The “You Seminar” mentioned in the title is a space that appeared in Pixar’s animated movie “Soul,” where children live before being born on Earth. The exhibition imagines the ‘You Seminar” as a pre-human world and proposes to perceive the earth and nature through the natural abilities of humans and machines.
The participating artists are Jun Hyoung San, Yang Sookyun, Nam Sangbong, Yoon Hee Soo, Oh Hwajin, Jung Sungjin, Cho Sohee, and Yohan Hàn. On the second floor, works by Jun Hyoung San, Yang Sookyun, and Nam Sangbong using sound are installed in the lobby, box theater, and dressing room. If audiences follow Yoon Hee Soo’s sound installation (2023) on the stairs to the third floor, audiences can see works by Oh Hwajin, Jung Sungjin, and Cho Sohee. Oh Hwajin installs hybrid creatures in the space based on short stories she has written, while Jung Sungjin uses white paper to create origami to address the thinking process of memory. Cho Sohee’s exploration of drawing incomplete circles takes place throughout the exhibition space, including the elevator. Yohan Hàn participated in the performance < SIWOLSANGDAL threading dance > (2023), which will be presented on September 25 at 7 p.m. on the rooftop.
*On the first floor, another selected project from the ‘Unfold X’, Defragmentation (09.02 – 09.26, 2023), is also on view.
