A retrospective at Indang Museum in Daegu highlights the late sculptor Kim In Kyum (1945–2018), presenting 48 works — sculptures, drawings, videos and models — across the museum and outdoor lawn. The exhibition, "Kim In Kyum: Poetics of Space," traces his four-decade practice from the 1988 Revelational Space series to 2016 Space-less drawings, emphasizing his idea that sculpture is not mere form but a space for thought that reveals the unseen. Installations include Revelational Space–Being and Revelational Space–Emptiness made from rusted iron, bronze, burned wood and acrylic, and models/videos of Project 21–Natural Net (Korean pavilion, Venice Biennale 1995) and Project–Wall of Thought (1992). Three "Dessin de Sculpture" (drawings-as-sculpture) from his Pompidou residency (1996–2004) are shown for the first time. The show explores how Kim shifted Korean contemporary art from object-based sculpture toward installation, asking fundamental questions about space, absence and presence. The exhibition runs through January 17, 2026.
