“THE CHOICES WE MAKE” Installation view at ARTSPACE BOAN ©BOAN1942ARTSPACE BOAN’s second half exhibition THE CHOICES WE MAKE will be held from September 15 to October 15. Four artists, Yena Park, Yunju Park, Yeonsu Baek, and Chang Hanna participated in the exhibition.
The exhibition centers on the relationship between objects and humans, and the inherent value of objects existence. In particular, it focuses on the process of discovering the possibilities and values of objects through a continuous relationship with them, rather than a short-term relationship with objects and mass destruction once their use is over. It moves away from the usability of objects from the human perspective to examine the existential value of objects that remain in the world.
All four participating artists capture the voices and times of everyday objects in their works. Yeonsu Baek embodies the process of her relationship with everyday objects through wood carving, while Yunju Park captures the movement and vitality of objects generated by artificial forces. Yena Park imagines a world of corroded and discarded artifacts by reconstructing them, and Chang Hanna creates a new ecosystem called New Rock, implying the process of plastic becoming part of nature and returning to humans.
