사물의 공간: Haiyoung Suh
Rectangular wooden boxes are stacked on the floor, with geometric forms placed on or attached to them. These shapes sometimes wrap around columns using different materials to create organic forms, hang from lampshades, or sit on the floor to create interior-like arrangements. They serve both as clues to the work’s existence and as the work itself. They are simultaneously sculptures or installations and everyday objects.
Today, categories like art and everyday life have become highly flexible, often blending and expanding to encompass a wide range of experiences. Haiyoung Suh has explored this through patterns derived from simple geometric forms, dividing spaces, and manipulating light and perception to create variations in spatial experience. Her interest goes further: she experiments with new ways of intervening space, imagining organic environments where familiar units multiply and evolve. Familiar forms, while not entirely unfamiliar, carry ambiguous meanings and allow for extended experiences when placed in standardised institutional spaces, public areas, or intimate personal environments
We foster an active relationship with everyday space, generating productive outcomes. In the exhibition, the pieces invite new ways of thinking, existing both as prototypes of form and as objects with practical potential. This exhibition turns the gallery into a site where the utilitarian potential of art is explored, while reflecting personal taste and creating private, intimate spaces. In this way, everyday objects are transformed into personal possessions, marking a shift from the general to the intimate.
