The Cumulative Effect: Curated by John Yau
The Cumulative Effect is a group exhibition that will be showcased at Songwon Art Center in honor of the inaugural Frieze Seoul.
In collaboration with Andrew Kreps and Bortolami Gallery, The Cumulative Effect is curated by John Yau and features works by acclaimed international artists such as Pacita Abad, Ghada Amer, Davide Balliano, Daniel Buren, Oliver Lee Jackson, Suki Seokyeong Kang, Minouk Lim, Rebecca Morris, Mary Obering, Clare Rojas, Cheyney Thompson, and He Xiangyu.
The title of the exhibition comes from an essay that American artist Rebecca Morris wrote (Artforum, March 1, 2013) on the paintings of the Belgian painter Raoul De Keyser (1930-2012), shortly after he died in Deinze. “Here was a career’s worth of art at play,” Morris wrote, “a way of composing and building an image that was personal yet also utterly open and generous.” The artists in The Cumulative Effect challenge many of the assumptions that are integral to old-world thinking and late 20th century theories about the avant-garde and the death of the author.
