Solo Exhibition YPC Space, Seoul, South Korea
Tuesday–Sunday, 11:00–19:00 (Closed Mondays).
Fear & Love (performance), 11 Oct, 8pm.
YPC SPACE presents The Crows, the first solo exhibition in Korea by Singapore-based artist Lai Yu Tong. Lai has long turned his attention to the wild animals that live within the seemingly seamless order of Singapore. Living at the edges of the city and constantly crossing paths with humans, these animals inspire both empathy and affection in Lai, while also embodying what the city’s efficiently functioning systems cannot quite contain. For this exhibition, Lai turns specifically to the crows he has observed for years within the radius of his everyday life. Often regarded as nuisances—unclean creatures seen as a threat to the cleanliness and proper functioning of the city —the crows take on many forms in works assembled from small fragments of black paper. These shifting forms of the crow hover between flight and fall, belonging and wandering, silence and cry, presence and shadow, bringing back into view lives that the city continually pushes out of sight.
