“3202” Installation view at RAINBOWCUBE ©Aproject CompanyJeon bobae’s solo exhibition 3202 will be held at RAINBOWCUBE from August 11 to 27.
Jeon’s work has been exploring the space or starting her own work from the work of other artists. In her solo exhibition NOONCHINAE at SeMA Storage in 2021, she started with the dog ‘Noonchi’ from Kim Beom’s artist book Nunchi (2010). Also, in her solo exhibition Juheon Lee at the exhibition space O’NEWWALL E’JUHEON in 2022, she explored space, focusing on her love for exhibition spaces and the changes surrounding them.
In this exhibition, the two tendencies seem to be blended and expanded upon. According to the preface, the exhibition is the artist’s view of the city. Upon entering the space, the first thing you see is a pink basin and a bottle of Samdasoo. These objects are not taken directly from everyday life as they are, but the material of the basin has been changed to isopink, and the bottle has been recreated in the same form as the original object through 3D printing. In addition, there are several rubber bands on soap holders or ceramic versions of sidewalk blocks leaning against the wall. The idea is to reverse the value of common urban objects by repurposing them or taking the time to by changing the material or taking the time to recreate them.
In this exhibition, viewers can see how the artist uses sculpture and installation as her medium to change the materials and processes of familiar objects.
