			In the modern era we cannot function, as the world is haunted by the specters of 'God,’ 'Man,’ and now ‘Information.’ These ghosts shroud the whole world; the entire universe. Virtual reality cannot be made physical. It is unreachable and looks to be seen but is actually a closed world without substance or exterior. Humanity must be regenerated as one entity interacting with the external, moving beyond the ghost of the self-centered 'human,’ so that to encounter that which is beyond us becomes most important. My work is extremely simple but has a unique physicality. It is neither object nor information. Rather it acts as an intermediary, an open gate, through which to see both sides. In short, my work is a place to encounter oneself and others, both the internal and the external; suggesting a new reality.
– Lee Ufan


Kukje Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition of Lee Ufan on view from April 4 to May 28, 2023. This is his second solo show at Kukje Gallery, following his first exhibition in 2009, and the first time in 12 years that he is showing his work in Korea, outside of Space Lee Ufan at Busan Museum of Art founded in 2015. Across the gallery’s K1 space, the second floor of K2 space, and the garden, this exhibition includes six sculptures and four drawings that range from the 1980s to new works. This body of sculptures displayed in each exhibition space is an extension of Lee’s Relatum series that began in 1968, when he also began to take a leading role in the avant-garde movement of Mono-ha.
