Seoul, South Korea, b. 1982
Eunu Lee places more emphasis on the connections between objects than the conceptual meanings that have been assigned to them. Following his graduation from the Korea National University of Arts in Seoul, he has shown various works investigating the relationship between art and design and the form and function of objects. By transforming ordinary things, he explores new relationships and meanings with implications for daily life. His work breaks down the duality of ready-made products through practical ways of constantly arranging, disassembling, and assembling objects, taking the viewer to a realm of new shock in a modern society that places a premium on the mass manufacture and efficiency of objects.

The Shape of Touch
"The Shape of Touch" originates from a desire to share the value and joy of labor involved in creating art with hands and body, in an era where all materials can be digitalized. The exhibition is filled with 'materials' surrounding us, the 'shapes' that contain these materials, and the 'touch' of the artist who cuts and attaches materials to form shapes. By harmonizing with objects we use every day, Eunu Lee constructs her own sculptural world, offering an opportunity to contemplate the immersive experience and value taught by ordinary labor.
