10AAA is proud to announce Transcendence: Eunuk Lee’s solo show in London, curated by Song Yovi and Yeonah Lee at the Old Police Station London. Since its establishment in 2011, 10AAA has realised projects with artists who have been doing interesting work in Europe and Korea. Under the title of ‘Transcendence’, which is a transcendental meaning, this exhibition prepared a solo exhibition introducing Eunuk Lee’s drawing installation and painting for the first time in London. In The Old Police Station, where the (old) police station building near New Cross was reproduced as a culture, the drawings depicting the artist’s imagination about the universe in a flat space and symbolically expressing the ‘eye’ symbolizing the world. You can meet drawings and paintings by installing new interpretations of space.
Eunuk Lee has been interested in the relationship between the world and people, and the movement of the black lines in each drawing appears in a complex maze of lines with new forms each time. Triangles, circles, and straight lines across the screen complete certain forms through the architectural structure and mathematical patterns of the universe. In the old police station space where there is a rough trace of the past, drawing installation will be carried out together, and the lines of the planes will pass through the space three-dimensionally.
‘Transcendence: Drawing (2019)’ are drawings that depict a planet that is infinitely expanded and produced in an imaginary world. In order to deal with the symbolic norms and rules of the universe where the ego is invisible, the works are filled with terribly delicate lines and the successive coincidences that make up a world.
We will also present ‘Transcendence: Painting (2019)’ series in the gallery. ‘Single eye’, an important symbol in Lee’s artwork, is a part of the artist’s body, which means a window into the outer world, the dark hole of subjectivity. The meandering labyrinths seen between the fine lines and the planes, in conjunction with the body’s optical organs, create black holes on the work surface, guiding others beyond gravity to the depths of the infinite universe.
In the ‘Undefined Interstellar Algorithm (2019)’ series, the existence of others appears in various layers as it transcends time and space. The artist’s and others’ breaths are completed by influencing the rotation of the universe, the rhythm of the planet, and the beat. Through the exhibition, it will be an opportunity to meet the audience in London by opening another time and space where the imaginary world meets the world.
