Bahc Yiso: Memos and Memories

The exhibition has two axes that intersect. One is a visual representation of a chronology of Bahc’s artistic life. It reconstructs over 20 years of his New York and Seoul periods.

The other axis, cutting across the first, has three layers. The artist’s notes which served as the seed of his art are at the heart of the exhibition like a platform. In the second phase, visitors are introduced to archives including drawings. The last phase presents actual works by Bahc. This construction of multiple layers offers the viewer a rare opportunity to witness directly the process whereby seed ideas grow to produce their fruits, the works of art.
