BODY MATTERS: art as discourse, performativity, representation

The lengthy title of the massage bed placed on one side of the exhibition hall is Put down the burden on your shoulders and just laugh_massage. If you visit on designated dates, artist Yu Mok-yeon will even give you a massage. This dubious exhibition focuses on the human body by displaying works such as a video of a lady dancing and a drawing of someone rolling out dough on a person’s chest and scoring it with a knife. In today’s era where the fake can replace the real and the virtual can replace the actual, this show asks where the body is situated between art and life.
