Jukhee Kwon's First Italian Solo Show at Galleria Patricia Armocida

Korean artist Jukhee Kwon (born 1981 in Dae-Jun) presents her first solo exhibition in Italy at Galleria Patricia Armocida in Milan. Kwon, often described as a book artist, transforms discarded books into sculptural works by cutting and reassembling their pages. Her pieces evoke natural elements like water and air, with a narrative-meditative quality. The exhibition features nine three-dimensional works of varying sizes and a series of framed small cutting sketches. Notable works include 'Babel Library,' made from abandoned volumes of Encyclopedia Britannica, resembling a waterfall; 'The voice of words,' comprising fourteen books that form a semantic torrent; and 'Via col vento,' which cascades down the gallery's internal staircase. The show runs from January 2017.
