			In this exhibition, Kwon Inkyung focuses on the space called a room. A room is considered an extension or expansion of an individual. When writer Virginia Woolf spoke of ‘A Room of One’s Own’, it would have been a kind of platform open to the world rather than an autistic space. This is because art is open. However, being open presupposes being closed before that. If there is no self, one will simply be absorbed into the world, and if there is only oneself, the world will be nothing more than a mirror reflecting oneself. Both extremes are problematic. A living organism is fluid in closing and opening even at the level of the cell membrane. Only then can the being survive well in the world into which it is thrown. The psychological dimension is highlighted in a ‘private room.’ The artist says that the works in this exhibition deal with “what happens in the room, the minimum resting space for each human being, psychological situations, thoughts that come to mind, and objects collected.” The ideas for these works started from observations of an acquaintance who was trapped in her own space, but such adversity is only a matter of degree and rather, a common experience of many people today.
