The exhibition Clumsy Seamless will be held on the 3rd floor of the Kumho Museum of Art from October 16 to November 9. An opening reception will take place on October 16 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

The exhibition title, Clumsy Seamless, is split into two. “Seamless” refers to a process—often technological or design-driven—praised for its simplicity and fluid connection between stages. It functions only when accompanied by aesthetic smoothness, along with universality, convenience, and a high level of problem-solving. To reach this state, one must remove all the sharp, protruding stones along the way—stones that might have formed from accumulated fatigue, from omitted pain, from loose joints and delayed or hollow time. By contrast, “Clumsy” describes awkward movements or gestures, but its meaning is far from simple. Clumsiness recalls the body as a container of spirit: its inevitable limits and decay, the remnants fallen from divine or automated images, the jolts born in the coupling of subject and object, the innocent mistakes that cannot be undone. There is hesitation in such acts, yet they are not merely passive. The clumsy body refuses to absorb the image of efficiency and technology without question. This light resistance conjures a new dimension within the very idea of the seamless. Though Clumsy and Seamless seem to stand on opposing sides, they—perhaps inevitably—will not part ways soon.
