A vulnerable being always desires to have armour. Tasty Shield invites soft and cartilage bones which have searched for the shell. ‘Surface’ is ultimately the first level we encounter something. We forget how problematic the surface (shell) is and keep talking about the seamless inward. Tasty Shield would discover the critical role of diverse interpretations that contemporary artists replace the surface of artwork with an extension of their skin metaphorically and aesthetically. The exhibition imagines a landscape beneath.

Dealing with contemporary art is no longer sacred or spiritual, but more realistic and combative. Hence, every artist is necessary to build their own shield. Depending on the artist’s features, the shield could be defensive
or aggressive, simple or decorative, heavy or light. Flora Lechner, Gijeong Goo, Hansol Kim and Siyoung Yang respond by representing their artistic shields.
