How Do Objects Move
Beyond Their Functions?
Articles Artist Eunu Lee: The Relationship Between Everyday Life, Sculpture, and Labor
Eunu Lee (b. 1982) has developed a body of work centered on everyday objects, such as furniture, that we encounter in our daily lives. Rather than focusing on the conceptual meanings embedded in objects, she draws attention to the relationships that objects form with other objects and with the human body. Through works that explore the functions and forms of objects, as well as those situated at the intersection of art and design, she has developed a distinctive sculptural language.
Articles Artist Choi Taehoon: The Organic Expansion of Objects Beyond Use and Function
Choi Taehoon (b. 1982) has explored the possibilities of objects beyond the logic of conventional use and function by intervening in the relationships and forces that operate between objects and humans. Moving beyond the purposes and functions assigned to objects for human convenience, his practice seeks new forms of reciprocity and reconfigures our relationship with objects through sculptural practice.
Articles Artist Eve Kwak: Reconfiguring Spaces of Everyday Frames and Boundaries
Eve Kwak (b. 1983) has long been interested in the built nature of everyday life and the physical environments we inhabit. Her practice focuses on the permanence of architectural forms and the activities that unfold within them. Through sketching the structures she observes, she explores the mutable nature of human actions using media that oscillate between two and three dimensions—including painting, sculpture, books, and printed matter—creating works that function simultaneously as flat surfaces and sculptural forms.
