Times of Speculation (추측의 시간들)

About

Times of Speculation, a solo exhibition by Park Ji-hoon, explores the possibility of communication between viewers and the artist. At large shows such as biennales, visitors usually reach first for a guidebook or printed handout. As they move through the galleries and encounter new spaces and works, they rely on the wall text beside each piece and try to understand the work through it. Yet a common pitfall in experiencing an exhibition is treating the works not as something to 'see' but as something to 'read' — trying to grasp them through explanations and information rather than meeting and experiencing them directly. This exhibition poses a small question to that habitual way of viewing. Text and information have been deliberately kept to a minimum, and some works are simply titled 'Untitled.' These choices may feel uncomfortable or disorienting, but that discomfort and unfamiliarity are part of the intended experience. Rather than offering set information or interpretations, the exhibition creates a space where visitors look at the works directly and meet them through their own senses and experiences. Within that encounter, it invites us to consider what kinds of communication might arise between the artist, the work and the viewer. November 6–20, 2026.
