Exhibition Statement as Preserved in the SUGS/SITE Archives:
A Perfect Measurement explores the ideas of measuring that is used to define, catorgorize, and control the unknown. While methods of examining value have evolved throughout history, the orgins of these systems and how they impact our lives has been seldom considered. To reveal the invisible side of defining and dividing, curator Jin Woo Chung (BFA 2019) brings together artists Seomy Ahn (MFA 2019), Cynthia (MFA 2019), Sujin Moon (MFA 2019), Cherrie Yu (MFA 2019), and Ji Su Kwak (BFA 2019), who all use conventionized measuring systems in their work.

The Biggest Circle That I Draw
Suji Moon
January 29, 2019 4:15PM – 5:00PM
“With her toes attached to the center of cemented ground, Moon uses her body as a compass and crawls on the ground to draw a circle. The work reflects on the possibility of the human body being used as a measuring tool that determines the limitations and imperfections of human lives.”
