Architect Cho Byoung-soo Returns as Artist With Solo Show on the Aesthetics of ‘Mak’

Architect Cho Byoung-soo returns as an artist with the solo exhibition ‘When Space Becomes Painting,’ held in Seoul’s Seongbuk from the 16th through June 20. The exhibition presents his view that “architecture is not about building, but about emptying,” and introduces works that treat space as a painterly experience. About 30 pieces are on view, with the original report highlighting the aesthetics of ‘mak’ as the core theme. Known primarily as an architect, Cho uses the exhibition to show how space, emptiness, and boundaries can be visualized. The show is expected to offer viewers interested in the meeting point of architecture and art a renewed look at Cho’s practice. Source: mk.co.kr
