CHOIJEONGHWA (b. 1961, Seoul, South Korea) is known for using common, cheap, and discarded everyday materials in his work, from plastic baskets and brooms to piggy banks and balloons. In addition to the eponymous artwork, the exhibition comprised “Dandelion,” “Ice Flower,” and “Young Flower.” Made from approximately 7,000 pieces of tableware donated by residents of Seoul, Busan, and Daegu, the nine-meters tall “Dandelion” weighed nearly four and was presented in MMCA Seoul’s madang, or front yard. Each work manifested the artist's intention to give meaning to objects that have lost their functions, sublimating them into art. Working in wood, steel, and cloth in addition to plastic, which has been representative of his work thus far, the artist revealed an expanded materiality of objects.
