Transformation: A Time of Becoming
We often regard transformation as something that happens in an instant. There is always a powerful fascination we feel in moments when something before us suddenly changes and a completely different presence reveals itself. But for such changes to become possible, we need a lot of time and contemplation, along with a willingness to remain in the presence of something substantial. It is an accumulation of moments when we refine structures and senses within and outside the body, test the substanceβs response, and accept the sequences that lead from one thing to another.
As children, we were much more open to becoming something else. Simply placing a piece of fabric over our body was enough to change its contours, and by stretching out our arms or bending, we could imagine a different body besides our own. The body did not stop at our skin; surrounding objects and substances could easily become part of it. As time passed, we began understanding the body as a fixed form and assigning places and categories to objects. Sculptures likewise came to be understood as completed forms. But form is something that comes to be when matter is organized in a certain way and the senses interpret it as the appearance of something. Those forms may be composed differently as the arrangements and conditions of perception change.
The 2026 Incheon Art Platform special exhibition Rehearsing Transformation focuses on contemporary sculpture as it examines the process of forms shifting between differing material and sensory conditions and shows the potential to become a different presence entirely. It uses the term βrehearsing transformationβ to describe an experience and process in which the very state of being shifts across the body, objects, images, and media. If βtransformationβ means the possibility of one presence manifesting under different conditions, βrehearsingβ starts with us accepting that this possibility is not realized all at once. Rehearsal is a period of repeating the same movement without a completed outcome, sensing the reactions of the body and matter while adjusting the conditions toward something that has yet to arrive.
The featured artistsβKWAK Intan, AHN Taewon, WOO Hannah, and LEE Hyungkooβreorganize the ways in which forms manifest in different material and temporal contexts, constantly testing the relationships that exist among substance, perception, and production. Their approaches involve imagining ways of assigning material conditions to fictional things; practicing the redrawing of boundaries between the bodyβs interior and exterior; attempting to perceive and internalize the invisible; and turning creation into an open-ended process rather than a βcompletion.β All of these intersect and connect around the question of how things might be differently composed.
LEE Hyungkoo applies anatomical and taxonomic systems to nonexistent bodies, creating a context where fictional forms come to stand as bodies in the real-world order. He also shows the process of sensory structures rearranging through a repeated performance in which the kinematics of foreign species are transplanted into his body. In addition to raising questions about what is recognized as βbeing,β his work suggests concrete conditions for the body to operate in different ways.
WOO Hannah uses fabric as a medium to draw the potential energy inside the body into an outward form. Fabric harbors senses of protection, concealment, and exposure, and when it becomes a wearable covering, it offers a way to redefine the bodyβs boundaries through the act of wearing. As it is stitched, folded, and suspended, it operates at once as a skin, a curtain, and an organ. Wooβs sculptures create flexible structures that fold, stretch, and move with the body.
AHN Taewon focuses on the deviations that arise in the senses where images and substance come together. On a single surface, he overlaps the perceptions of familiar presences with those of images circulated over networks. Things that possess warmth and tactility enter a flow of images through processes of scanning and transformation, but when they appear in a material setting, the perceptions appear in ways that do not fully align. The two perceptions linger without overlapping, and it is this misalignment that the artist uses as a foundation for new forms.
KWAK Intan creates serial flows of generation where one sculptural form leads to another. Reusing the fragments and residues of his production process as materials for the next sculpture, he opens up structures where multiple hands are involved in an experience of co-creation. He experiments with the question of how open a medium sculpture can be where play and creation come together.
These transformed shapes open different layers of being, posing new questions about the familiar and accepted order of the body and form. Visitors to the gallery will pass through a realm of variable, temporary perceptions as they walk among works that distill long experiences of execution. Some of those works invite the viewer to experience the sense of transformation through their own acts of sitting, wearing, and co-creating. The process of βrehearsing transformationβ continues here and now.
