Byoung Cho: When Space Becomes Painting
BB&M is pleased to present When Space Becomes Painting, a solo exhibition of the leading Korean architect Byoung Cho, whose practice is distinguished by a refined sensitivity to elements of nature, land, wind, and sky. Organized in partnership with Jiyoon Lee of SUUM Project, renowned for curating high-profile international exhibitions in Seoul, the show traces Cho’s decades-long engagement with the concept of “space” across the mediums of painting, installation, maquettes, and drawing. Echoing the title of Harald Szeemann’s legendary 1969 exhibition When Attitudes Become Form, the show proposes painting not as a secondary act apart from architecture, but as a fundamental mode of thought that precedes and extends Cho’s architectural practice.
