LOST WEEKEND MEETS YOUNG ART

Kanako Ebisawa / Isu Choi / Tzu-Yun Hung

19/02/2024 – 16/03/2024

Kanako Ebisawa from Japan : 
The transformation of everyday objects is a profound source of wonder and insight. This process uncovers values that are often overlooked, giving us new perspectives on the fabric of our lives.
 
Isu Choi from Korea : 
Repetition is a universal aspect of life, present in everything from our daily routines to the cycles of nature. The series of works examines both the positive and negative aspects of repetition, showing how it can create a sense of security and comfort, while also leading to feelings of monotony and frustration.

The idea of the “loop” or “circle” is central to her works, highlighting the cyclical nature of repetition that leaves traces in our lives. A range of works offers a thought-provoking perspective on the human experience and the ways in which we leave our mark on the world.

 
Tzu-Yun Hung from Taiwan : 
As a child, I always had to scribble in my exercise books or the adults would get angry again.

Tzu-Yun Hung chose the eraser as a medium because it is an everyday tool for erasing mistakes, whether at school or at work. But who can use the tool and what should be erased? The faint traces of erasure betray its presence in a dubious absence.
We seem to have freedom of choice, but once we enter an economic/cultural system, it means that everything I choose (including decisions about everything material, past and future) is a signal I send to others. It is the signal I send to others and it becomes a representation of who I am. The part of me that has been intentionally or unintentionally erased exists as a ‘lost absence’. People today create and destroy their own identities at will, using commodities labelled with various symbols and signs. It may seem like a free game, but do I really have the freedom to choose where I belong?

Rupert Jörg

As an obsessive collector, Rupert conjures shimmering tapestries woven together by words, drawings and moving images taken from the immediate surroundings he grew up in and in which he is still immersed. In his recontextualization, the fragments become shadows without a body, they are piled up like an enormous skyscraper in a Jenga game, overloading the audience and at the same time preparing itself to collapse any minute. The ruins are then transformed into the facades and the symbols onto his crayon drawings, which unfold like a scroll with multiple perspectives; revealing itself on one end while hiding on the other.

As a detached observer, Rupert retreats into an omnipresent CCTV, which keeps extending itself, not only to the outer world shaped by fragmental images but also to the inner space of “home sweet home”. What is once familiar turns uncanny. The intimate and cozy middle class living scenarios are fabricated by the artist into a monitored laboratory, where mental and behavioral codes are amplified and exaggerated. While bedroom wallpapers are peeled off, bathroom mirrors are smashed and books are set on fire in the study, family members are flattened as two-dimensional figures or staged as experimental subjects. In constant attempts to trigger the displacement of roles within the family, Rupert reassembles them into temporary forms of film crew, circus acts or guerilla members. Transpassing layers of images which have been penetrating into their interior spaces for years and manifesting their invisibility as haunting ghosts. [Jianling]

 
 

The Curator

The exhibitions of Lost Weekend Meets Young Art are curated by Jaemin Lee. Born in 1987, he graduated in Visual Communication Design at Gachon University, Seoul. Currently he is graduating from the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich as a Master student of Gregor Hildebrandt. He already showed his works in several solo and group exhibitions all over Germany. His goal: to give young artists visibilty and an opportunity to present their art to the public, as well as to a professional audience. By carefully selecting not only local, but also German and foreign guest artists, he also encourages them to build a network and to support each others way into a career.
