Woojin Cultural Space Gallery will be hosting sculptor Han Kang's solo exhibition 'Unassimilated Bodies' from July 3rd to the 16th. This exhibition starts with questioning the ideal body standards set by society and the bodies that have not reached or rejected them.

Han Kang says that society has turned the body into a manipulable object under the guise of efficiency, such as managing the body with methods like '100g of chicken breast, irregular fasting, a cup of coffee instead of a meal.' However, not all bodies can 'assimilate' these standards equally, and the unassimilated sensations and memories often disappear without being recorded or are covered up again by new standards.

The exhibition will feature 16 sculptures, 11 video works, and installations. These works visually represent bodies that do not fit the standards, emotions, and traces that have ultimately not been assimilated. In particular, the sculptures laid out on the floor of the exhibition space like gravestones are seen as a mourning for these traces and as fundamental questions about the norms imposed by society.

The artist stated, "We should not ask what is wrong with bodies that do not meet the standards, but how distorted the standards themselves are." They expressed their intention to reveal that there are still 'unassimilated' bodies existing at this moment through art.

This exhibition critically reflects on the social norms regarding the body while proposing a space for contemplation on individual body experiences and sensations.
