Intervention
Art Accent 2022: Intervention, which marks its 10th anniversary this year, is Art Busan's Young Artist Program to revitalize local art. It presents 13 experimental installations, sculptures, videos, and photographs of six artists from residencies in Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam born in the 80s.
The exhibition title–Intervention–is usually referred to as the ritual of surrounding someone to detect and mediate the risk of excessive or dangerous behavior. The exhibition explores the changes in relationships due to social constraints that have permeated deeply into daily life.
Changwoon Lee's One Way Trip(installation), which welcomes audience at the entrance, focuses on the blind movements of modern people in a formal social structure; Youna Kim's Buoyancy of Emotion( photography) captures an invisible emotional mass that occurred through a relationship, and Seunghee Lee's We Are Brothers(installation) tactfully points out a two-sided sense of community with a propaganda phrase; Heesoo Agnes Kim's Oak Tree and Time in the Eyes(video) expand in a new direction beyond the limited existing senses in the middle of the exhibition hall; Doki Kim's heater-built Untitled and Someone’s Square(sculpture) remind the viewer of the forgotten sensation of another’s body temperature through tactile sensation. At the end of the exhibition hall, the audience will face Su Kim's Way of Encountered and Crossroads(sculpture-based installation), which elicits multi-layered memories through one specific medium. This is considered the artists' intentional intervention to restore relations with daily life today, despite persistent despair.
