“AIR MASS: 바람이 다니는 길” Installation view at Lotte Gallery ©Lotte GalleryLotte Gallery in Jamsil will present “A I R MASS: 바람이 다니는 길” a solo exhibition by Gwon Osang from May 12 to July 16. This exhibition is a tripartite collaboration between Lotte Gallery, women’s fashion brand EENK, and the artist. On May 25, a fashion show runway featuring EENK and editorial shop ELI’DEN was held among the artist’s 6-meter-high works.
The exhibition includes six new works from the “air mass” series and 12 works from the “deodorant type” series. The “air mass” series establishes a series of relationships that respond to the existing “Masspatterns” series. These are balloon-like sculptures that use inflatables that can be enlarged to enormous sizes by inflating them inside the work and were inspired by the English sculptor Henry Moore, who began by studying the abstract form(Reclining Figure) of one of the earliest modern sculptures.
The exhibition space of over 100 square meters is filed with works measuring 3.2 meters high by 6 meters wide, and mirrored columns are placed between the work to create the feeling that the space expands to infinity, making the experience of walking through a maze. The small still-life sculptures located between the ‘Air-Mass’ builds a path through the large and small sculptures, and the sense of infinite space between the sculpture created by the mirrors makes a fantastic experience of walking through a labyrinth garden.
