Ooooon presents The Four Editors by Hyeonah Goh, Haneul Park, and Hyobeom Park. The exhibition talks about books and exhibitions as a way for artists to exist.
The exhibition is organized by referencing the contents, editorial methods, and physical forms of books. The exhibition space is composed of sketches suspended in the air that resemble the pages of a book, massive structures that remind us of book covers, and floor installations that simulate the appearance of an open book. Also, a series of dialogic styles exhibition prefaces, similar to a play, line the bottom of the left and right walls of the space. The artists in the exhibition are exploring traditional materials such as ink, Soonji, and Jangji (Korean paper), as well as the legacy of the past.
On the opening night, July 5, from 7 to 8 p.m., and on the closing night, July 30, from 9 to 10 p.m., the editors will read fiction, poetry, or other text at the four corners of the exhibition space. The curator, Hyeongshin Yeun, and the three writers, whose boundaries were blurred through collaboration, are all named editors, like the title of the exhibition The Four Editors.
Through the juxtaposition of the language of the book and the language of the exhibition, The Four Editors explores the concepts of exhibition, curator, and artist.
