Images are the world, and the world is made of images. And yet, we find ourselves that be excluded from the world—or perhaps already caught in it. The cave in Plato’s old analogy may seem preferable: worn and outdated, yes, but at least it offered a way out. Let’s try pulling an image from this world, woven tight like a spider’s web. The image is so thin, its hollow fragility exposed. It slips away like sand that can’t be held. Scattered like a puzzle in disarray, perhaps it is from this collapse that we can begin again. The second part of the exhibition, Draw ( ) and Drop ( ), presents painting strategies that work through the image. Yeongbin Yoon moves in close to images too immediate to avoid, faithfully echoing their looseness. Hyerim Jun explores new temporality and spatiality through idealized images. MeeNa Park plays with externally given images, questioning the idea of a ‘finished structure.’ These tactics draw the image into painting and expose the frameworks and fractures it holds within. It is the moment when the seemingly solid world of images begins to give way. This reflection on the image is what revives painting in its moment of fatigue—and perhaps revives us too, caught in the web.
