presents a solo exhibition by Meekyoung Shin, “Chronicles of Collapse”, on view
through October 27.
Shin has
long been recognized for reinterpreting cultural objects—both Eastern and
Western—through the medium of soap, exploring material and conceptual
conditions in the process. However, WWNN takes a slightly different approach in
viewing her work. The exhibition explores the cyclical themes of creation,
destruction, and rebirth through Shin's work, focusing on the value and
regenerative possibilities found within them.

The exhibition includes the artist's Painting Series from 2014, soap sculptures Translation Series and Weathering Project from the early 2000s, and ceramic works Megalith Series that have rarely been shown in Korea.
