Exhibition Information

			People these days tend to objectify and generalize others and impose strict moral standards. However, in a close look, we are all in a ‘relationship with each other.’ grandmothers aims to evoke a relationship that transcends diverse gender and age and to create a space for understanding each other by inviting grandmothers. 

In an abstract sense, grandmothers exist as icons of tolerance and sacrifice dedicated to their family, providing warmth by caring for their children and grandchildren. On the other hand, the grandmothers also symbolize the stubborn women who protect the system. No matter what kind of grandmother is, she is a very solid woman who must have been someone’s daughter, sister, mother, wife, and herself who has gone through a period of upheaval. In her wrinkles, not only kindness and stubbornness, but also the years are piled up one after another. So, looking back on our grandmothers’ lives and preparing time together will allow us to reinterpret the present (past) through the past (present) and establish a new solidarity. The exhibition is largely composed of three nodes; ‘grandma’s diary’, ‘grandma in the ages’, and ‘becoming grandma’, which intersect conceptually and spatially rather than composing solid sections.
