Moving Landscape 2
by Alternative Space Loop
Location: Alternative Space Loop
Artist(s): Yoon Seong CHANG
Date: 28 May - 27 Jun 2013

Moving Landscape 2, a solo show of Chang Yoonseong in 2013, is conceived as “the mid-career artist supporting exhibition” of the Alternative Space Loop. As held each year at the Alternative Space Loop, the mid-career artist supporting exhibition is a project designed to instigate continuous promotion of artists who are in the mid-stage of their artistic career built upon a fair amount of professional experience after their debuts.  The objective of the mid-career artist supporting exhibition program is not only to provide an opportunity for a show to the chosen artist whose distinction has been acknowledged throughout the high caliber of his or her work, but also to keep promoting the selected artist on a domestic and international level by renewing public attention and shedding a fresh light onto the body of work.

Chang Yoonseong majored in Media Art and graduated from the Department of Fine Art at the Korea National University of Arts in 2001. Since then he has participated in many exhibitions, where he presented diverse and powerful works that transgress the strict division between genres, such as photography, video, and installation. The daring scale is one of the major characteristics of his work, which employs various media and incorporates the space itself as part of the creation. Moreover, the artist has been much attracted by the interactive system that moves and changes according to the engagement of the viewer.
The exhibition Moving Landscape 2 features two pieces: Camera Test 5-b and Moving Landscape 2. Both works, whose developments are still ongoing in the form of series, mirror the artist’s long critical interest in the relationship between media and the viewer. Moving Landscape 2 in particular, which is also the title of the show, is the second version of the Moving Landscape series that garnered huge attention when it was introduced in 2007 at the Project Space Sarubia. As a site-specific project, this series consists of installations that break down the conventional understanding about the gallery space and reconstruct the space as a transformative one that changes itself parallel to the movement of the audience. By applying brand new elements and mechanism different from the previous iteration in 2007, Moving Landscape 2 will offer the viewers a novel experience of active interaction, not of conformism, with media and the space.
