Experience the Distancing Contemporary Art Exhibition at Thaddaeus Ropac Salzburg Halle

Distancing brings together new works by artists Kei Imazu, Juree Kim, Nosik Lim, and Maria Taniguchi, exploring how images and matter evolve through distance and duration. The exhibition proposes a slowed mode of perception that recalibrates focus, moving beyond immediate grasp to trace the lingering sensations of time and memory.

Distancing explores the recalibration of perception through distance and duration, presenting new works by Kei Imazu, Juree Kim, Nosik Lim, and Maria Taniguchi. Across painting and sculpture, the artists employ distinct formal strategies—such as repetition, the slow transformation of clay, layered opacity, and the juxtaposition of disparate image-worlds—to trace how sensation catches up with us when we move beyond the desire for instantaneity. The exhibition invites viewers to step back from the world, fostering a state where boundaries between the human and non-human, or the natural and artificial, collide and blur into new relational states. By privileging a mode of looking that values stillness, the exhibition recalibrates focus rather than obscuring it. The artists’ practices are inherently process-based, with works that register the accumulation of time, labour, and environmental change. Whether through the sedimentary transformations of Juree Kim’s clay installations, Kei Imazu’s paintings that maintain multiple temporalities, Nosik Lim’s blurred atmospheric landscapes, or Maria Taniguchi’s labour-intensive geometric frameworks, the exhibition suggests that 'distance' is not a mode of detachment but a necessary condition for reconnecting with the complexities of the present.
