DAHOON NAM: THE REAL REAL

31 Oct - 12 Dec 2026 BB&M is pleased to present “The Real Real,” a solo exhibition of Dahoon Nam, on view from October 31 to December 12. Marking the artist’s debut presentation with the gallery, the exhibition employs “imperfect replication” as a critical strategy to interrogate the authority of canonical modern and contemporary art and the value systems that uphold it. Nam reimagines iconic works by figures such as Alexander Calder, Damien Hirst, and Alberto Giacometti using everyday materials, creating a tension between meticulous simulation and deliberate deviation. While his familiar forms evoke their canonical counterparts, they simultaneously collide with the humble materiality of mass-produced goods and recycled objects.
