ABOUT

Arko Art Center, Arts Council Korea(Chairman, Kwon Young bin) proudly presents Hwayeon Nam’s premier solo exhibition, Time Mechanics. Having internationally shown her diverse artistic practices, Hwayeon Nam’s(b. 1979, Seoul) potential has been widely acknowledged amongst her generation of artists.

 

In Time Mechanics at the Arko Art Center, her distinctive working methodologies applied to her different works with various media including performance, video, and sound can be seen through five pieces of newly-commissioned video and photography work. Particularly, her idiosyncratic linguistic performativity and the formal characteristics of her works that attempt to identify the objects, space, reality and existence of the time and structure of social systems will be represented through the exhibition.

 

The exhibition provides interesting audio-visual elements in an exhibition space that intermixes footage-based video works with historical archives and images, movements and sounds of humans that mimic flora and fauna, and the artist’s contemplation on human’s intensive desires. In Time Mechanics, the audience can not only witness the singularity of each exhibited element but can also have a synesthetic experience of aggregated performance during which all works are interlaced as one.
