Joohyun Kim has worked on how uniform, modular shapes turn into a highly delicate and complicated forms based on simple, basic rules. Regarding the project Circuit of Memory, 2011, consisting of hundreds of electric wires and small LED bulbs, Kim states “I began this work on the thought that nothing shows relationships better than electric flow.” Ten drawings, created between 2010 and 2011 especially for Circuit of Memory, are on display in this exhibition. They are the medium through which we can catch a glimpse of how the artist has been attentive to circulating “relationships” and the way in which she transforms her ideas into signs of these relationships.
