Hakgojae until the 25th… 96 pieces on display
Yoon Seok-nam‘s drawings ‘An Excuse of a Land-Phobia’ (2001) and ‘Maternal Grandmother’ (2001). Provided by Hakgojae”/>‘I was overwhelmed by the grief of losing my good brother/friend. (Omitted) As I walked out of the shopping center/My heart deepened/I became comfortable with the daily life of death./Truly/It was a precious day.’ (‘Yesterday, I received a phone call early in the morning…’)
‘Without a reason, or as if there was a reason/Always busy/You (omitted) were so busy/You forgot where your body was.//It’s sad/The body that forgot is busier.’ (‘Saturday evening at 6:50’)
This is an inscription in a drawing by Yoon Seok-nam (85) that can be seen at Hakgojae in Jongno-gu, Seoul. When we think of drawing, we often think of a sketch that organizes ideas before creating a work. However, Seoknam Yoon’s drawings are closer to a diary that looks into the artist’s inner daily life and what he was thinking and feeling.
‘Early yesterday morning… ‘ is about what she felt after going to the mall after her close friend’s younger brother passed away from leukemia, and ‘Saturday Evening at 6:50’ expresses her sad feelings about someone who has lost the center of life in their busy daily life. ‘Maternal Grandmother’ and other works are full of respect and affection for all mothers who have raised their children.
The works on display are a selection of 96 out of 700 drawings made by Seoknam Yoon between 2000 and 2003. As she is called a ‘feminist writer’, her works depict the lives of women, but her works also include a variety of topics, such as the 2001 Afghanistan War or thoughts on human relationships. What is felt among them is the fact that the author has expanded values such as a mother’s endless love, respect for life, and sisterhood into a universal realm.
As the author says, “I always thought it would be nice to be 20cm above the ground,” we can take a look at the journey of trying not to be swayed by the world and not to forget important values in life, such as love and peace. The exhibition also introduces 15 new sculptures by Yoon Seok-gu (77), Yoon Seok-nam’s younger brother. By wrapping abandoned trees with colorful fabric, we ask ourselves whether our current consumption patterns are correct. Until the 25th.
