'Void is a core term, which encompasses Asian values that contrast with the logocentrism and materialism of Western philosophy. It also signifies a world, which is empty and yet filled with elegance and compels viewers to see the horizon of life anew, and, at the same time, a productive space that traverses boundaries and differences. The present exhibition, therefore, intends to be a chance to examine not only the artistic but also the spiritual significance of Void in Korean art, while discovering similarities and distinctions found in Asian aesthetic.' - Lee Joon, Deputy Director, Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art.
