donghee koo
PKM gallery, korea
now through september 13, 2013

 

 

through the use of everyday objects, donghee koo involves the audience in a crossing of the senses, fusing visual and auditory by combining sound with sculptural reconstructions of ready-mades. she is currently exhibiting ‘extra stimuli’ at PKM gallery, korea — a collection of playful artworks that invite the viewer to an overlap in perception by juxtaposing familiar noises with generally irrelevant objects. one of the exhibited works, ‘528 / 528’ is a display of seeds and nuts in size order, set upon a rotated display with mirror. by interfering with the conventional exchange of our space and senses, koo disrupts the viewer’s expected interpretation.
