Gallery presents PERIGEE UNFOLD 2025 exhibition 《Don’t
Be Hasty》 on view through September 6.
Now in
its fourth edition, PERIGEE UNFOLD is an annual exhibition program spotlighting
emerging artists under the age of 35 who are steadily expanding their artistic
worlds.
The
PERIGEE UNFOLD 2025 exhibition 《Don’t Be Hasty》 highlights the works of Khym SangHa, Seo Minwoo, and Lee Yongjae,
each of whom gives form to the weight of time through the intrinsic properties
of their chosen media.

their works—video, sound-sculpture, and painting—may at first seem fragmented
in their sensory registers, they remain proximate and gradually intervene
within each other’s perceptual fields. Though they move within the same
physical conditions, they reach the viewer through distinct temporalities and
sensory channels.
Khym
SangHa’s work begins with sound emanating from a video piece, inviting the
viewer into an auditory experience that precedes visual comprehension. Yet this
sound soon becomes integrated into the projected image, perceived as part of
the visual field. At the same time—or perhaps a moment later—Seo Minwoo’s
structures quietly occupy the periphery of vision. Seemingly still, they are in
fact sound-sculptures that continuously reshape the acoustic landscape of the
exhibition space.

contrast, Lee Yongjae’s paintings approach the viewer with the slowest, most
object-like presence. As the viewer follows the shimmer of the surface, the
materiality of supports, and clues within and beyond the frame, they encounter
brushstrokes formed through embodied durations—each a different manifestation
of time.
《Don’t
Be Hasty》 urges viewers to resist rushing to
conclusions or final judgments. Instead, it invites them to join a continuous
current and remain within it. Here, the exhibition does not propose to reflect
on duration as a subject, but rather to think within duration itself—within
this point of convergence that quietly holds us.
