Semi-nomadic Model
‘Adjacency’ not only refers to the physical structural adjacency, but also points to the interaction and reconstruction of the ‘psychological environment’. In this exhibition, ’Adjacency‘ often represents tension, transition, and threshold states, and may imply marginal interactions between different materials, ideas, or perceptual systems. In this exhibition, we focus on the ‘between things’, that is, those gaps that are not directly connected. They may appear empty, yet they are full of potential precisely because they remain “unsaid.” Each work functions as a marked yet undefined node, inviting viewers to traverse the space with both body and consciousness within the ‘Semi-nomadic Model’, generating meaning amid uncertainty and exploring those subtle, ongoing connections that are often overlooked. These are not simple delineations between center and periphery, nor are they conventional spatial divisions, but a transitional composition in a certain ‘critical’ state. Through diverse media—installation, painting, and photography—we seek to examine the psychological distances and perceptual echoes between things, and between people and space. “Nothingness” is no longer a void, but the starting point for extending perception. The presence of “emptiness” is something I always want the audience to feel, rather than merely see. I hope that viewers will not passively watch a fixed center, but rather reweave space and perception through in a wandering perspective. Every mirror, every piece of acrylic, and every blank left in an image may become a passage into your own psychological field. This is an exhibition without a fixed center—yet it awaits each viewer to find their own place within it.
Zusa Wang, born in Liaoning, China, received his Master’s degree in Sculpture from Shenyang University and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. at Hongik University in South Korea. Residing in Korea, he is an artist engaged in multi-media practices including sculpture, installation, photography, painting, and video. My works are grounded in a conceptually rich post-minimalist language that delves deeply into themes of space, perception, structure, and cultural significance. Positioning ‘Decentralization’, ‘Fluidity’, and ‘Spatial Intervention’ as key concepts, critically re-examines the boundaries and generative possibilities of post-minimalist art in the context of contemporary culture. My research and artistic practice converge in the development of a personal theoretical framework— ‘Semi-Nomadic Model’ I try to break through the traditional sculpture’s inherent definition of space and materiality, and am particularly influenced by Deleuze’s “nomadic theory” and Kurt Lewin’s ‘field theory’. I through structures, materials, graphics and dynamic paths,and create the artistic environment with the characteristics of a ‘behavioral field’, explore the interaction and psychological reaction between the audience and the works, and practice centers on the fundamental question: What are the other factors that influence an artwork? Within this framework, I hope that by presenting the psychological and dynamic variability of space,advancing an artistic experience that moves beyond materiality toward a convergence of awareness and perception.
