Through Which The Light Passes: Yong Min Cho’s performance with Liliane Lijn, 28 March 2021 at Ragged School Museum, London
Antoni Malinowski’s work “Through which the light passes” at the Ragged School Museum became the starting point of a larger exhibition. With the help of the Museum’s director Erica Davies, Antoni invited other artists to make interventions, films, photographs — the Ragged Art Festival was born.
An online exhibition with works by Hélène Binet, Yong Min Cho, Alexandre da Cunha, Oona Grimes, Jefford Horrigan, Liliane Lijn, Antoni Malinowski, Kathy McCarthy and Katrina Palmer. The exhibition is accompanied by a special text written by Jenni Lomax.
“From her studio in the North London, Liliane Lijn, by some remote means, calls out numbers to Yong Min. The numbers spiral around a conical, light sculpture that will revolve in front of her. She selects numbers at random. It is for Yong Min to choose how to transmit them. Another sculpture by Liliane Lijn is made of colourful, light-weight plastic shopping bags in the form of a dress. Yong-Min Cho had once performed with ’Bagdress’ on a table in Liliane’s work room. It now lies in waiting, on a workbench in the Museum’s art room.”
