Timberline

  • 2026.05.30(Sat) ~ 06.28(Sun)

Youngeun Museum of Contemporary Art presents Timberline, a solo exhibition by Gu Mokyoung. Evolving from representational snowscapes into abstraction, the artist introduces white clay, Baekto (白土), to traditional ink wash for depth and density. The title Timberline refers to the boundary beyond which trees cannot grow—a metaphor for unseen conditions of life. Ink on the canvas spreads before naturally coming to rest, forming a boundary akin to Muwi (無爲). Chair objects throughout the gallery bring questions of dwelling into physical space, inviting viewers to reconsider the ground on which they already stand. The exhibition prompts us to contemplate the invisible in the space, Gan (間), between moving forward and coming to a halt.
