Chapter No. 3

LESS

08 July 2022 — 04 November 2022

 

This chapter expands across the walls and windows of the space, where the dynamic movement of black lines recalls the essential structure found on the backs of postcards.

Each composition consists of six lines in varying lengths and angles; one measuring 120 cm, four at 80 cm, and one at 30 cm, forming a visual rhythm between drawing and correspondence.

 

Initially, this graphic was for the publication dirty trip for photographer LESS in 2013, a collection of postcards featuring LESS’ photography during the journey between 2006 and 2012. The images on three surfaces are placed on pages 34, 35, 36 of Na Kim’s SET publication.

 
 
 

More about SET

Tracing Kim’s multidisciplinary practice further, a stack of books arranged on Loom’s small table features the SET publication itself, where Kim’s work from the past ten years is exhibited in one paper-y space. This catalogue arranges all designs and artworks by visual element, eschewing production year, medium, commission type, etc. The content in the book has been translated into more than twenty different spatial iterations since 2015.

LOOM’s current wall and floor has been divided into similar proportions as the catalogue, and the works from its pages have been expanded into a large scale mural; in this act, LOOM becomes a set for a performative activity that responds to and reflects the visual elements of Kim’s work. By expanding into the realm of installation and performance, the artist demonstrates the potentials of a cohesive, unified body of work.
