“Fleeting Excitation, Wide-spreading Stirs” Installation view at 413 BETA ©413 BETAFleeting Excitation, Wide-spreading Stir, an exhibition featuring artists Yoonyoung Choi, Yunjin Han, will run from July 28 to August 17 at 413 BETA.
The exhibition connects the principle of ‘collisional excitation,’ a phenomenon that occurs when a particle collides with an atom, to a slice of life: the subject can be thought as living off the energy generated by collisions with others outside of themselves.
Through paintings, drawings, and installation, Yoonyoung Choi depicts a ‘temporary settlement’ that comes with the various conflicts in life. In the paintings < A Fixed Chapter >(2022) and< When I Look Back, There Is Only a Wish That Is Getting Farther Away >(2022), multiple shapes and their respective intense colors collide, bringing to the fore a sense of conflict between images. Yunjin Han examines the relationship between the individual and the other through the concepts of ‘affect’ and ‘Affection’. At the center of this is the emotion of ‘wishing’, which can be directed toward the other, or it can be something that the other and the subject have for each other. In the velvet fabric and resin installations < Envelop ‘Causa Sui’-7 : Festival >(2022) and < Envelop ‘Causa Sui’-6 > (2002), only black light emanates, evoking a sense of overwhelming.
Rather than negatively perceiving the inevitable process of collision, the exhibition invites us to see it as an event that gains energy for the next. It is here that we can explore a newly woven sense of collision.
