Just like a page yet unwritten, the group exhibition “Blank Page” held at Kumho Museum of Art showcased a variety of installations that could be interpreted in countless ways. The exhibition was highly interactive, with eight creations from six young Korean solo artists and a duo in a space spanning four floors, with the interplay between viewers and artworks being the central mechanism in reconstructing inexplicable sensations through a range of narratives. As each artwork occupied its own room, the exhibition gave off the impression that the presentation took place across eight independent art spaces. The isolation of artworks, each sitting in its own chamber, enhanced the exhibition’s focus on interaction between space and viewer.
