Sue Yon Hwang, 〈A House of the Day〉 2018. Monochrome print, 35x30x54 inches.

DOOSAN Gallery New York presents Sue Yon Hwang’s first solo exhibition in the U.S., 《Material Manifestation》, opening from September 12 to October 19, 2019. Hwang was selected to the DOOSAN Residency New York through an open call in 2018, and will spend six months this year, from July to December at the residency, and be given the opportunity to present a solo exhibition. 《Material Manifestation》 explores Hwang’s recent works created during her time in New York, along with a reiteration of her earlier works. Hwang has been taking time to carefully examine and understand the materials she chose, developing her works through a labor-intense production process. Her interest in the materials and inquisitive attitude imbues on these works a unique personality, and by throwing away the existing characteristics of the materials, the exceptional forms of her sculptures arise. In 《Material Manifestation》, Hwang selects ‘paper’ as her material and probes both its characteristics and her own practice with it in her works. Following the organic lines made by a French Curve, an instrument for measuring garments, she folds, cuts, and glues the paper over and over again to create a naturally abstracted form.
