Preface to the Special Exhibition of Korean-Chinese Art In the Rhythm of Rest In the Rhythm of Rest, a special exhibition of Korean-Chinese art, unfolds around the process finding mental freedom and peace while exploring the relationship between nature and humans. This “place in a rhythm of repose” is an exhibition curated with the wish for the peace of letting go of the anguish of enmity and foolish thoughts and quietly looking at oneself to be with everyone. Giant, god-like tranquility and the transformation of water circulating on land and in the sea inspire infinite awe. Immersion, play, and mental freedom continuing to our hearts through a rapport with nature fill our lives more abundantly and meaningfully. This exhibition leaves the aftereffects of thought to those who are weary of modern society’s complexity and excesses and offers a place to rest so they could discover practical values. We hope it will be an occasion to view the world with greater flexibility and humility while briefly escaping the noise of daily life and meditating on nature’s essence and inherent human values.
