MATTER
EXHIBITION BY GALERIE NOIR
ARTIST KANG JAEWON IS INTERESTED IN THE SCULPTURE OF THE FUTURE.
THROUGH FREQUENT USE OF 3D MODELING PROGRAMS, HE CAME TO BELIEVE THAT FUNCTIONS CREATED AND UPDATED FOR CONVENIENCE COULD, IN TURN, INFLUENCE THE PRINCIPLES BY WHICH PHYSICAL SCULPTURE IS FORMED IN REALITY.
SCULPTING WITHIN A 3D MODELING PROGRAM ALSO MEANS BEING FREE FROM THE PHYSICAL CONSTRAINTS OF THE REAL WORLD.
AS A RESULT, ONE’S APPROACH TO SCULPTURE AND MATERIALITY NATURALLY SHIFTS TO A CERTAIN EXTENT.
PAST STAGES OF THE WORKING PROCESS ARE RECORDED AND CAN BE REVISITED AT ANY TIME, MAKING REPLICATION AND MODIFICATION EASIER.
FOR THIS REASON, RATHER THAN FOLLOWING A METICULOUSLY PLANNED PROCESS FROM BEGINNING TO COMPLETION, A MORE SPONTANEOUS FORM OF CREATION BECOMES POSSIBLE.
THROUGH THE SENSIBILITIES GENERATED BY DIGITAL SCULPTING METHODS, THE ARTIST SOUGHT TO APPROACH SCULPTURE IN A NEW WAY.
THIS APPROACH NATURALLY LED TO EXPERIMENTAL WORKS.
