LIGHT OF WEAVING: Labour-Hand-Hours
Mon-Fri: 10-5:30pm
Co-presented by the Korean Foundation for International Cultural Exchange (KOFICE), the Korean Cultural Centre UK (KCCUK), and the Soluna Art Group, this exhibition highlights the very best of Korean aesthetics through the concept of ‘Weaving’.
Bringing together eleven masters and artists, the exhibition displays pieces that have been creatively formed by employing long-established Korean techniques and materials. The works narrate tradition, where our ancestors reflected the value, dignity, and wisdom of their lives.
Ranging from ceramics, glass, horsehair, textiles and natural lacquer, these materials are metamorphosed into unique objects that radiate the essence of Korean beauty. The installation utilises the objects’ silhouette and texture through the use of light and shadow, which expands identity of each piece. Exploring the theme of weaving, the exhibition aims to both form a connection between East and West as well as to encompass all generations.
