THE SECOND LAW
Chapter III of “The White Dot and The Black Cube”
20 April – 26 June 2016
Curated by: Diana Marincu and Anca Verona Mihuleț
Artists: Carmen Dobre-Hametner (RO-DE), Suk Kuhn Oh (KR)
Conceived as a laboratory-type exhibition, The Second Law is a project constructed with high intensity, aiming to cause a little upheaval at the level of visuality, a little disorder in the way we see identity, identification and memory. To this end, it uses two distinct channels – the documentation of the practices of the Furry community as undertaken by Carmen Dobre-Hametner and the photographic re-enactment of important moments in the modern history of South Korea, as conceived by Suk Kuhn Oh. Owing to the increases and decreases of tension, the action of the presentation acquires a specific rhythm, like a dramatic performance. At a certain point, we are almost under the impression that there is a distinction between the positive and negative characters featuring in the exhibits, or between the private and public identity that the characters assume. This impression is carried forward into the exhibition...
The presence of Suk Kuhn Oh in Romania is supported by Incheon Metropolitan City, Incheon Foundation for Arts and Culture and Arts Council Korea, as part of the regional cooperation project.
