Man is one of the subjects that will never disappear as long as humankind exists in this world. The diversity and depth of man gives the term multiple faces. The exhibition puts the existential being of an individual in focus and intends to think about the significance of existence. Here, an individual refers to the subject that recognizes its real being as it leads its daily life.
The exhibition is divided into three subdivisions: 'One's everday existence in the public sphere' where are shown isolated individuals of today's society; 'Gazing at one's own self' where one discovers his or her own true self by denying him/herself; and 'Corporality', where artists' movements are incorporated into painting at the realization that the human body conveys human existence itself.
In the exhibition, one looks at how the underlying sense of existence is projected to works of art.
1. Iron Plate + Wires + Lead. Yoon, Jeong-sup
2. Work 85. Yun, Myung-soon
3. The Day For House-Raising. Ryu, Kyung-chai
4. At The City's Subway. Park, Hyun-ki

"the realization that the human body conveys human existence itself."
simply amazing. iron plate... & work 85--holy smokes. i wish i could see those in person. they are so haunting, yet it is a sort of odd disconnect they express with their bodies and the other subjects in the pieces that signal towards the humanity that they are also portraying. tragic and beautiful simultaneously--how much art has come from those two sentiments?
