经济一体化的今天，跨国公司纷纷在世界进行着市场布局，也势必会带来文化层面日益频繁的交流和互动，全球化无疑是当代艺术当代性的重要特征之一。不同文化相互间的交流是在不断地误解和错读再纠错的过程中增进了解和认同，当然，有效的交流首先是要建立在彼此间的意愿上的，另一方面，文化吸收和本地化改造也使得其本身的面目模糊不清和不伦不类，因此越来越多的艺术家在面目不清的全球化浪潮中自觉地寻觅自己的精神原乡，重塑自己的本地特征，而赵亨燮就是这样一位在主动寻觅和搭建自己精神故乡的国际化的艺术家。此次展览是弓艺术空间“艺术家交流计划”的一部分，我们期望未来能够与更多的艺术机构和不同文化背景、生活经历的艺术家开展合作，这也符合我们为“平常”制造“非常”的初衷。

Artist Statement：
As an artist, I focus on very ordinary objects and circumstantial conditions and situations produced by those objects. In other words, the subjects and materials in my work were collected from common places close to our everyday life, and I reflect the episodes that might have happened in those places on my artwork. The objects are familiar, but they approach to us in different guise and visage according to the relationship of surrounding objects or the relationship between object and another object. The objects acquired from a low level of relational web in the daily life contain our everyday experience, and their various features become a motif of the work. My artwork often changes into a different form through several processes, and a spatial breakaway can happen as the third result in a new space through the material dissimilation and alteration of the subject. Spielraum excluding one's expected intervention: that is, I attempt to make an active, creative area and attract natural attitude and activity from the participants in it. By a dissolution and distortion of the conventional function which are familiar to us, I want to make the users, or the viewers, to feel distance from the familiarity. Also, I want to offer them an opportunity of rethinking about the role of the normal objects and devices that fulfill fixed functions so they can achieve an extension of thoughts and chances to reflect on their surroundings including themselves. Sometimes, I desire to express the traces of everyday life, wistful sense about vanishing things, and expression of affection that cannot be ignored through discarded boxes and furniture found in a corner of the village. Then I try to communicate with people and visualize the hidden meanings that are neglected and submerged under the surface of daily routine. Through the form I created, through the space left by it, and through the gap between the forms, I expect to call the viewers' attention and complete the work with their active participation and attitude.
