The Ilwoo Foundation presents 《Nap》, a solo exhibition by Hwayeon Nam, the first winner of Ilwoo Art
Award, until September 30.
In this exhibition, Nam turns her attention to naps that interrupt
the productive hours of the day. The sleeping body momentarily suspends what it
is supposed to be doing, slipping away from time governed by purpose and
efficiency.
Through this brief departure, the artist brings into view moments when
sleep and wakefulness, the everyday and hallucination, and human and natural
temporalities overlap.

This solo exhibition comprises 14 video and sculptural works,
including new works by Hwayeon Nam, alongside a performance piece. Videos and
sculptures created at different points in the artist’s practice are presented
throughout the exhibition space, where the works connect with one another
through images, objects, and bodily movements.
The performance Sleep, Alone and Together will
take place throughout the exhibition, while artist Jung Jihye’s performance Sincerely,
will be presented every Sunday at 1:30 pm.
