Value of Values @ Tongyeong Triennale
Value of Values @ Tongyeong Triennale
Daniel Kapelian (International Commissioner / Curator / Art Director)
“The main exhibition, “Take Your Time,” will display the works of 35 artists and teams from 11 countries who take a meditative approach to art and, through immersive and sensory experience, contemplate the permanence, or impermanence, of what humans conceive as time.
“It’s an invitation to take a break, to take it easy, to press pause just for a moment in these very troubled times,” Daniel Kapelian, international commissioner and curator, said. “It is a call for contemplation, to elevate our minds and to reconnect with ourselves and nature through beauty, poetry and the spiritual powers of art.”
A six-story laboratory building located inside the abandoned ShinaSB shipyard will invite Justine Emard, Eliza McNitt, Davide Quayola, Maarten Baas and Lim Ok-sang, among others, whose works range from fine arts and crafts to digital art, virtual reality and artificial intelligence.
One of the highlights of the show will be Maurice Benayoun’s neuro-design art project, “Value of Values.” Viewers can design any shapes or forms virtually on the monitor through their brain waves, and even own the finished product in the form of non-fungible tokens (NFTs).”
