The
exhibition “MaTEriDeLIA,” curated by independent curator Taehyun Kwon, is being held at the
Mirae Building until November 24. “MaTEriDeLIA” is an ongoing project that
explores psychedelia from diverse perspectives.
The
title replaces the "psyche" (ψυχή, psychḗ)
and "to manifest" (δηλείν, dēleín) in
“psychedelia” with “materi-” (material), aiming to reach a new path.
This
project goes beyond chemically altering consciousness to create sensory
experiences that transcend distinctions between subject and object, human and
object, in collaboration with artists Goyoson, Jimin Gu, Dowon Yoo, Cha Ji
Ryang, and Sun Woo.
Alongside
the exhibition, “MaTEriDeLIA” includes immersive performances and talks that offer moments not
easily relatable to previous experiences.
The performance program features works by artists
Cha Ji Ryang, Goyoson, and Jimin Gu and runs from 4:00 pm to 6:30 pm on
November 9 and 10. Participation can be registered through the following link: Application
