Everyday Nature
Salon Hannam, Seoul,  September 4-14, 2024

Everyday Nature brings together works by David Hartt, Harold Mendez, and Rim Park that investigate our contemporary relationship with images and the environment.

The three featured artists use images as raw material—in the same manner that metal, wood, or clay can be shaped—to address our media-saturated lives. Set against the dramatic environmental and societal shifts exacerbated by climate change, these artists aim to draw viewers back into the world. Their works address the beauty and fragility of where we live and our intimate relationships with place.

By focusing on sections of foliage, common houseplants, and other organic forms, Hartt, Mendez, and Park create deeply poetic works imbued with elegance and urgency, ingeniously spanning mediums, ranging from drawing and etching to sculpture and tapestry.

Co-curated by Christopher Y. Lew, Cole Akers, and Jee Young Maeng for C/O: Curatorial Office.
