Unfamiliarity, Familiarity

Introduction


Kim Na-ri has continued to work on ceramic heads and busts that stare straight ahead. The faces she makes from concrete shapes molded out of clay are images of happenstance whose results she has never predicted. These faces are thought to be something universal found somewhere in our lives while they at times appear alien when examined closely. Kim’s ceramic works give preference to our experience of facing oneself as a sign others see.


Jung Jung-yeop’s mirror works, on the other hand, denote our experience with communication as seen from the viewer’s point of view. Jung raises objects laden with others’ reminiscences to the level of art by his delicate hand based on mirrors he was given or collected himself. Placed in the Lobby Gallery after several exhibit spaces, a hand-stained mirror that reflects someone’s face welcomes new viewers.
