Chapter No. 3

LESS

 

We are pleased to introduce LOOM’s third chapter expanding throughout wall and window surfaces.

This dynamic movement of black lines refers to the essential elements of the backside of postcards. Each group of line composition includes six lines with various angles — one with 120cm, four with 80cm, and one with 30cm.

 

Initially, this graphic was for the publication dirty trip for photographer LESS in 2013, a collection of postcards featuring LESS’ photography during the journey between 2006 and 2012. The images on three surfaces are placed on pages 34, 35, 36 of Na Kim’s SET publication.

 
 
 

More about SET

Tracing Kim’s multidisciplinary practice further, a stack of books arranged on Loom’s small table features the SET publication itself, where Kim’s work from the past ten years is exhibited in one paper-y space. This catalogue arranges all designs and artworks by visual element, eschewing production year, medium, commission type, etc. The content in the book has been translated into more than twenty different spatial iterations since 2015.

LOOM’s current wall and floor has been divided into similar proportions as the catalogue, and the works from its pages have been expanded into a large scale mural; in this act, LOOM becomes a set for a performative activity that responds to and reflects the visual elements of Kim’s work. By expanding into the realm of installation and performance, the artist demonstrates the potentials of a cohesive, unified body of work.
