Koo Jeong A: Exploring Poetic Installations and New Drawings at the Secession

This exhibition features interventions and installations by Koo Jeong A that engage with the exhibition space, creating compositions with poetic lightness and dreamlike qualities. The works explore themes of order and disorder, and the relationship between micro- and macrocosms, challenging the viewer's perspective.

For the Secession, Koo Jeong A created a series of installations under the title '3355', a term that metaphorically and concretely refers to the formation of human groups and the concept of timelessness. Her compositions, often rooted more in poetic thought than sculpture, possess the delicacy and lightness of dream worlds. Koo Jeong A's subtle and meditative yet sober approach engages with the banality of objects, imbuing them with structural principles through their arrangement. The exhibition carefully orchestrates moments of hiding and sought-after isolation, creating atmospheric landscapes that invite reflection and recognition. The presentation at the Secession further investigates the viewer's perspective through Koo Jeong A's staging of shifts in viewpoint. The initial distant overview of a worktable in the first room is complemented by an introspective experience within a white cell in the subsequent space, defining an independent interior. Here, Koo Jeong A brings the inside and outside into alignment, as if in a dream. Her intention is to publicly display the personal without necessarily revealing it. The third room showcases a new series of drawings, marking their debut exhibition at the Secession.
