Curator Andrea Nitsche-Krupp will introduce Geumhyung Jeong’s practice, key themes and processes behind the exhibition. The tour will allow opportunity for questions.
Geumhyung Jeong’s solo exhibition Under Construction centres on sculpture that is perpetually in a state of becoming. The artist creates mechanical bodies, an entanglement of metal and artificial human bones that move in halting and unpredictable ways when operated via remote control. These figures are presented in the gallery in dialogue with the parts and tools that will append them, along with videos of their development in Jeong’s Seoul studio. Each sculpture will be regularly re-attended by the artist in a series of performances. Process and result are indiscernible; the work exists as an exchange between human and machine. It is equally a physical form and an ongoing trial and error, i.e., Jeong thoughtfully constructing, amending and coaching the robotic beings as they attempt movement. In this, the project addresses the co-existence of human and machines, or even humans and objects, today.
