ABOUT US 

BOUND SPACE 

KIM Jung Woon 

  
1. 4 - 1. 18, 2019

I want to make flexible sculpture. Things that have to be solid, elements of architecture, and straight lines of structures are bent or flowed like liquid in my work. When the rigidity or vericality of the structure is broken, a new shape of the curve emerges. I rather break the structure in a sensual, feminie way than in a destructive way.
Through the interplay with the space, my flexible sculpture is altered its form to adapt to the space. Everything is always placed in a certain structure. Both physically in a building or a space, and in society and its culture, living beings try to adjust themselves in the structures. Not all of them can fit into it, of necessity the relationship between the contents and the structures develope organically. I focus on visualizing the tension and the fascinating moments, especially in the urban context, that occur during this process.
