'Slow' in an age of keen competition is only defined as 'left behind.' However, it is just one side of the meaning. In arts, if we see a work in a face pace, there would be no enough time to appreciate it. As suggesting 'slowness,' people can look back how accelerated life affects on them and think about aesthetics of slow. Mijin Kim has focused on nature and worked on how it influences on human and essence of an object. In a new exhibition, she will announce installations under the theme 'slow' so that the exhibition will be a chance to concern about a relationship between man and nature.
