“Sculpture” Poster ©CR CollectiveCR Collective is pleased to present Sculpture, a solo exhibition by Minsun Lee (b. 1985), on view from June 22 to July 29. In this exhibition, Minsun challenges the concept and reality of sculpture, reflecting on the illusions that have been commonly imposed on sculpture and artists.
To faces sculpture, Minsun passes through various media such as sculpture, video, and fiction. The 13 new works in this exhibition are all installed on wheeled wooden boards, making them not fixed in one place. Also, the artist uses everyday objects such as paper, sand, and flour dough to create works that cannot be defined as sculpture or non-sculpture.
In video works such as < A Visitor > and < A Whistleblower >, the artist performs a one-man show and utilizes footage of real-life moments, betraying the expectation required to address specific events for artists. In three short stories that read like the artist’s autobiography, the artist also reveals the everyday life that lies between art and non-art, and calls attention to the contradictions of sculpture, which is preoccupied with concepts and ignoring materiality.
In this way, the exhibition rethinks the concept of sculpture and common ideas of artists. Minsun’s work, which denies and distorts the institutional order, will provide a deeper understanding of sculpture.
