Woven Continuum

Opening Reception: Friday February 27 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Join us this Friday, February 27 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. for the solo exhibition, “Woven Continuum” by Changil Kim!

Changil Kim explores the relationship between line and weaving through sculpture, investigating mass, tension, and void in relation to memory and rhythm. Working in three-dimensional space, he constructs continuously spreading woven structures that build tension between line (wire) and emptiness, forming new spatial configurations. Drawing inspiration from the practices of Gego and Ruth Asawa, he reimagines what sculpture can be and what line can do in space. Using steel frameworks and woven wire, he develops sculptural metaphors that occupy space.

The work shifts between frame and surface. Across the openings, planes of woven aluminum wire appear—some pulled tight like a mat, others open, as if the weave loosened and started to breathe. Light passes through these areas and turns them into changing screens: dense sections cast soft, grid-like shadows, while sparse ones barely interrupt the white wall behind. The artwork emphasizes the time and labor inherent in craft, drawing attention to investments that are often overlooked or undervalued, while underscoring the importance of craft, its cultural and traditional significance within a place, and its ability to shape one’s cultural identity. By bringing craft-based work into a fine art context, he wants his artworks to be an experience of spatial writing and cross-cultural dialogues.

This exhibition will be open through Friday, March 6.
