Rehearsals for a poem
Two person exhibition by Sun Park & Thomas Grodal
featuring handmade books, charcoal, charcoal collected nearby the tree struck by lightning, charcoal collected from Sarah’s birthday party and two cut glasses
“The uncertainty of lightning strike is sometimes all we need to feel the present” by Sun Park and Thomas Grødal. Curated by Vsevolod Kovalevskij. From 12 to 27 August 2023 InTheCloset Gallery in Vilnius.
For this two person show, I’ve made some books that comprise ’Rehearsals for a poem’. My intention was for these books to be destroyed by the act of reading. To access the stories they contain, you must pick them up and flip through, leaving your fingers and pages stained 🐾🐾

Image: Installation view of ‘Rehearsals for a poem’ by Sun Park from the exhibition “「Z/I/N/E」” at WHITEHOUSE, Tokyo. Z/I/N/E is a group exhibition that explores the relationship between artists and zine. Many artists must have more fragments than just exhibits, but the thought process that goes there and pieces of things that didn't become a piece. Wouldn't it be nice to record it or attempt to make a zine using it as a thought exercise. Perhaps this exhibition may trigger a reinventing the production itself through the work of editing a zine, to reinvent the media called zine.
Open from 29 November to 3 December
