EXHIBITION

Water movement can be applied to all living things’ survival.

The surface in nature such as surface of lake or sea, surface of bubblecovering air or water, endothelium layer in blood vessels, plant roots, and muscle, creates an exclusion zone. Miracles like insects breathing under the water for a long time by making bubbles, reptiles or flying lizard s walking on water by surface tension is due to water’s singularity, which is similar to ice but has dense viscosity.
It enables the water to be delivered to the end of a huge tree, and blood to be carried to capillaries. Living things have repeated evolution by using the water’s exclusion zone to adapt to surrounding environment. These natural phenomena that happen around is possible because of water’s exclusion zone.

Evolution relies on the process of natural selection and mutation.

Evolution of life requires harmony between mutation and (natural) selection. When it’s in harmony, the perfect new breed is born. Even in animals, plants, and in our daily view, something deeper propels the systematization of water in exclusion zone. This propulsion is common energy used in everyday life, and that anyone can easily understand.

Research project on new local communication relationship of contemporary art.

When looking for new communication relationships, one worries about the shield between those boundaries, and new relationships are made as the one removes those walls. As it is, ‘Exclusion Zone’ is a research project about new local communication relationships of contemporary art.
In art as well, only when individual’s individuality is respected in the process of cooperative work, healthy collaborative project is feasible.
Under deliberation of new community, we’ll be able to figure out the direction of local art and a plan for active exchange.
I’ve found motif from nature’s water called ‘EZ(Exclusion Zone)', which has a layer in a sticky condition as if it’s pulling each other, in a form of neither liquid nor solid.
Different from regular water, water in surface has exclusiveness and acts as exclusive energy, but exclusive zone(different from each other) is more stable than regular water, and is very systematized. One of the characteristics of water in science and found from nature, exclusive zone will experiment dynamic chemical reactions from
connections between artist and artist, artist and environment, local community and society, and North and South.
We will promote exchange between ancient city ‘Yangon’, that has aquaponics floating land culture from natural ponds and Gwangtan art studio artist village, close to Munsan chun, and located in 4 Gwangtan which means a ‘big ford’. It is also an attempt to find the energy of new communication pushing and pulling each other, that
exists between local communities, art and audience, and local community and locals.
With the purpose of emigrating activity, we would like to research and practice new local community activities through exchange of dynamic ‘action art’ and ‘ecological art’.

NOTE
1) Exclusion Zone the term was first named by Australian scientist, John Watterson and the abbreviati on is EZ. As you can see from the term Exclusion Zone, it started from referring to water’s singular structure that we’ve never known, and not only about the exclusion.
Since water can exclude everything, it has its singular characteristics.
The charged particle is negative in terms of electronics, and it’s completely different from normal water’s charge particle conditions.
It is also called as water’s fourth phase, along with water’s three other phases(liquid, solid, gas). It is the district of water whic h can be formed around various objects, and is broadly distributed around us than expected.
