Documentation on Space and Perception workshop

This recording documents a workshop that artist Lee Kyuchul conducted with students in the Department of Sculpture at Chung-Ang University in the 1990s. The students used limited materials such as plastic straws, ice cream sticks and thread to create polyhedrons that could protect raw eggs from impact, and then dropped their handmade structures from the roof of the school building to see if the eggs would break. The contents of the workshop, which explores how abstract space is expressed in three-dimensional shapes and how it relates to life, constitute an experiment realized as an extension of the artist’s exploration into notions of “space and perception.”
