SOMETIMES I PREFER TO SIT ON A CHAIR ON THE EARTH by KÖNIG SEOUL and SURROUNDED BY UNIVERSES by @pacegallery, Seoul, opened today, showing more than thirty of the latest works by Alicja Kwade. Her first solo show in the Korean capital includes a new series of watch-hand works on paper, that continue her exploration of the processes by which we perceive and construct reality. 

Alicja Kwade’s new series, ENTROPIE reconstructs a process in snapshots. Like many of her works, ENTROPIE questions our very modes of perception. Its representations reveal that the apparent order was actually already in a state of entropy from the beginning – ‘entropy’ being the physical measure of disorder or, more accurately, the ‘absence of order’. In ENTROPIE, watch hands on paper represent the

 

 

 

arrangement of the molecules. At any other point in time, these could also be arranged differently, as micro-conditions occur in almost infinite possible variations. Yet still randomness does not prevail. Far more, each work is located in a clearly stated point in time. The entropy steadily increases, imposing its direction on time.

Kwade explores both the physical and metaphysical in her practice, grappling with ideas big and small. While her work is often associated with Minimalism, Kwade approaches her practice with an eye towards conceptual art. As part of her engagement with the work of artists like Marcel Broodthaers and Piero Manzoni, Kwade often tips the scale toward absurdity, imbuing scientific subjects with poetry and wit.⁠
