1995 / South Korea
Seoul-based artist Goyoson explores the expansiveness and fluidity of sculpture. Rather than being rigid or hierarchical, his sculptures present themselves to viewers as ever-changing forms, embracing a sense of possibility.
By incorporating the viewers' experience of time into his sculptures, the artist introduces transformation as an integral element. Viewers are encouraged to engage with his work freely-whether by observing, touching, or at times, experiencing it alongside music.
In accord with this approach, he handcrafts organic, nonconventional sculptural forms and experiments with ephemeral materials such as foam, food, and wilting flower petals. By integrating materials that dissolve or decay, he challenges the conventional notion of sculpture as a fixed, immutable object, instead expanding its structural and conceptual boundaries.
Seoul-based artist Yoson Ko explores the expansiveness and malleability of sculpture. Rather than being rigid or hierarchical, her sculptures approach the viewer as objects with variable possibilities.
This is because the artist allows the viewer to experience his work freely by looking at it, touching it, and sometimes even listening to music, as he introduces the "morphological transformation of the sculpture" into the space based on the viewer's time.
In this way, Goyoson creates sculptures of unstructured forms that are manipulated by hand, and uses materials that disappear, such as foam, food, and wilting flower petals, to expand the structure of the sculpture from a fixed object.
