Alex Dodge's 'Dream Weaver' Opens at BB&M Contemporary Art, Seoul, With New Monograph

Key facts

• Alex Dodge's second solo exhibition with BB&M Contemporary Art, titled 'Dream Weaver,' runs from 22nd August to 3rd October 2026 in Seoul.
• The exhibition coincides with the publication of 'Between Worlds,' a monograph from BB&M Contemporary Art Books surveying over two decades of Dodge's practice.
• Dodge works between New York and Kyoto and explores the intersection of computational logic and physical making.
• The new body of work uses the structure and language of textiles, treating the 'weave' as both a formal device and a conceptual framework.
• Dodge draws a parallel between weaving and digital systems, where a single thread generates complex surfaces through order and recursion, akin to bits and code.
• His paintings test how systems considered sensationless or 'agnostic' in computer science can produce an unexpected emotional charge.
• The figures in the works hover between animals, stuffed dolls and drapery, inviting projection and evoking the anthropomorphisation of artificial intelligence.
• Dodge's process begins with 3D modelling and code, followed by physical application of stencils and paint, with the digital never treated as an endpoint.
