MMCA Cheongju Project 2021 Chen Dai Goang: dreams Of The City

---

MMCA Cheongju Art Storage Center presents the MMCA Cheongju Project 2021, Chen Dai Goang: Dreams of the Perfect City, an exhibition of newly-commissioned works. The Cheongju Project is a series of exhibitions providing a platform for new and established Korean artists to experiment and produce artworks in an expansive outdoor space.

For this exhibition, Chen Dai Goang, whose work focuses on large-scale installations, has created a small "city" from a variety of materials and forms on the lawn space in front of Art Storage Center, Dreams of the Perfect City is a metaphorical symbol of the ideal city inspired by Cheonbu Gyeong ("Heavenly Seal Scriptures"), a core text in Korea's Daejongism faith, and Kabbalah, the medieval Jewish mystic school of thought. Both of these sources offer explanations for the principles and logic of the universe; the motif of the work's overall layout is drawn from the iconography of the wisdom-filled Tree of Life featured in orally-transmitted Kabbalah.

Each "house" sculpture is based on architectural photographs taken and collected by Chen on his travels through various Asian countries. Buildings are aggregations of historical, economic, technological, cultural and climatic influences, so much so that they may be regarded as mirrors reflecting their respective eras. The materials and styles of buildings and furniture in various places bear traces showing how the politics, economics and culture of the industrial era are imprinted in architecture, and of the tangled relationships between these influences. The artist uses a variety of strategies for visualizing invisible factors such as systems, capital and culture. He mixes various exteriors and adds new patterns, reinterpreting architecture through his own unique sense of aesthetics to create imaginary buildings. Through art that. transforms and recreates urban architecture. Chen explores possible forms for ideal future living spaces.
