Abstract
Inside the exhibition space, 23 Korean designers and artists discuss the concept of “Monochrome Monologue.” The exhibition expresses the concept of Korean sentimentality through the language of black and white and its countless shades of color that permeate the works on display. Presenting a symmetrical and asymmetrical spatial formation in black and white as a dimensional manifestation of the beauty of emptiness, accentuated by natural diffused light from a backlit coffered ceiling, contrasting with the works illuminated with pinpoint light highlighting the different shapes, shades and hues of black and white.
