[Korea] PARK Suk-Won Handle 4 shadows
Park Suk-Won won awards at the National Exhibition six times in a row in his twenties and was awarded Chairman of the National Assembly which contributed to the status of abstract sculpture in the conservative National Exhibition. Park Suk-Won participated in the avant-garde AG Group as a sculptor of experimental abstract sculpture who went on to enter his three-dimensional works into the Paris Biennale and Sao Paulo Biennale. His work Handle manages to escape from everyday life by expanding the daily act of opening and closing doors. Through his initial three-dimensional works he shaped his interest in spaces, objects, and environmental elements. 4 Shadows, his initial installation work, uses clothes and wood to raises questions about the absolute location and status of a space or object by drawing shadows made by pieces of wood onto the clothes themselves. These shadows appear in different directions on screen. |
