Otto Zoo Gallery, on the occasion of Start Milano Weekend, is pleased to present an installation by South Korean artist T-yong Chung (Tae-gu 1977).<\/h6>\n
The artwork of T-yong Chung \u2013 who currently lives in Milan \u2013 consists of researching and recycling daily use objects and materials. These objects and materials are taken apart and reconstructed by the artist, who relies on his own imagination. His approach, minimalist or significant, tends to give subjects a different meaning and a new dimension, which also identifies with their past, structure, and substance. The installation was inspired by an idea of Italian culture and tradition, elements the artist is extremely attracted to. These components have a significant impact on T-yong Chung\u2019s current artwork. The remains of Tyrolean chairs, gathered, seem to form a gigantic origami. After removing their faces, fake Riace bronzes lose their kitsch quality and gain a new refined authority. The rusty shovel, after being polished, regains the sacredness it deserves due to its timeless use.<\/h6>\n
A significant aspect of T-yong Chung\u2019s artwork \u2013 whether it is sculptures, photographs, videos, or drawings \u2013 is a vocation for levity, for oneiric essentiality, for unrestricted reverie, that he emphasizes with his interest for the never-ending development and stratification of things, to bring to new light lost possibilities.<\/h6>\n
