Ed Atkins' '1 day in space' Opens at Gladstone's New Seoul Gallery
Gladstone Gallery presents '1 day in space', an exhibition by British artist Ed Atkins at its newly opened Seoul location. Known for a multidisciplinary practice that uses technological surrogates to address themes of time, loss, and the tension between permanence and ephemerality, Atkins here shifts to analog strategies that reiterate and reframe these enduring questions. The exhibition features a major new moving image work alongside expanded photographic pieces, sculptures, and frottages. '1 day in space' offers a visual allegory of the family and poses questions about excavating and reconstituting the real, examining how images of domestic life attempt to capture the melancholic banality of passing time. The show marks the artist's first exhibition at the new Seoul space, expanding Gladstone's international presence.
