exhibition featuring works by Minhye Kim and Moonmo Yang, on view through May
31.
The two artists explore the thresholds
between line, gesture, and air. Rather than constructing or reproducing form,
they trace the process through which form collapses and is reconstituted. The
line trembles along with movement, gesture erases form, and air reveals the
interval between presence and absence. These three elements are not fixed
endpoints, but rather mediators that expose a process in constant flux.

air》 ©Pipe GalleryMinhye Kim(b.1986) creates depth by
layering lines and planes upon a surface. Departing from the weight of
representational imagery, she extends a spatial sensibility through the
relationships between line and plane. Her work suggests what lies beyond the
visible, emphasizing absence over objecthood. Her practice, which traverses
between drawing and sculpture, remains at the threshold—favoring openness over
closure
Moonmo Yang(b.1986) interrogates the
representational nature of painting through repetition and erasure. Originating
from drawing, his practice reconstructs space through the flowing motion of the
hand and gestures of removal across the surface. He avoids fixed images in
favor of revealing the process of formation and disappearance through bodily
traces. For him, the canvas is not a finished scene but an evolving
site—constantly revised and renewed.

both artists converge in their pursuit of open structures and incomplete forms.
Lines become flows, not contours; movements both obscure and expose. Together,
they blur the boundary between form and formlessness, creating a sensory and
fluid spatiality. Air becomes the trace of these acts—a site where
disappearance meets emergence, and where new possibilities unfold.
《In line, movement and air》 is both a dialogue between the two artists and a record of the hand
moving through time and space. This exhibition follows no fixed narrative;
instead, it remains a field that opens and closes in response to the gaze of
each viewer. Audiences encounter not completed outcomes, but the movements and
traces that surface within the process itself.
