For its seventeenth "Carte Blanche" to a contemporary artist, the Guimet Museum invites Park Dong-Soo to take over the fourth-floor rotunda.
After Lee Bae, Kim Chong-Hak and Min Jung-Yeon, he is the fourth Korean visual artist to make a gesture and invite the visitor to enter his universe imbued with dansaekhwa, Korean monochrome painting.
Entitled Cette place-là, his installation is an ode to the Korean tradition of using black ink and hanji paper. These two materials are used as a vehicle for a proposal that has as its theme birth
of the universe as its disappearance, with the common point of the explosion, as much primitive as destructive. The addition of material under the mulberry paper allows Park Dong-Soo to create depth in his black monochrome, to invent
the space that absorbs us, to the discovery of a disturbing and poetic space-time completely different from ours, in a resolutely Korean work integrating the meditative path into his painting. The artist plays with the disorientation caused by the fragmentation of his works and makes the rotunda the original matrix of his creation, a form of saving cocoon.
The book shows the design stages of this installation through photographs and sketches as well as portraits of the artist at work.
