what could have flickered (on the verge of a cusp of a reality) is a collection of seemingly innocuous objects that evoke curiosity; one that lingers into uneasiness. The effect of these objects becomes a needle to poke at the gaps of normalcy, disrupting the accepted societal constructs. The logic of these individual objects question what is the norm, perceived information, and established value — introducing a queer reading.

What and how objects are arranged is a proposal of previous individuals that passed through. If you are willing, please offer your input(s) by interacting with the objects as well. While there are no limits on what is permitted, a request is: If something breaks, please either leave it in proximity of its origin, or inform someone of your choice. You are not at fault for altering the objects.

*The exhibition will be “reset” as close to the status of the opening every 2 weeks.

Kal is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice serves as the artist's own navigation. Their work aims to identify and reconsider what is the norm and open alternative possibilities of defining oneself in the existing system that we inhabit. To do so, they dissect, collect, and assemble familiar object(s) and graft the components together to a theme to create objects that are reminiscent of the original. These seemingly absurd objects—which are often humorous in nature—serve as a playful invitation into systemic disarray. These reconstructed objects are situated within a new system that is unfamiliar, creating a narrative that is continuously fluctuating. These narratives elude conclusions, asking the viewer to reconsider assumptions.

Kal is a Korean artist currently living in Boston. They moved to the U.S. in 2019 for their bachelor's degree, which they completed at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. They are currently based in Boston, where they are in the process of obtaining their MFA in Sculpture at Boston University.
