Upcoming

H-flux Gallery is delighted to present ‘Weaving Light,’ a two-person exhibition featuring artists Hyunji Kang and Alice Hyunsoo Kim, on view from December 6 to December 31. Bringing together glass and textile works that explore memory, time, and the quiet language of light, the exhibition opens the winter season with moments where luminosity becomes emotion, and material becomes memory. In the unseen grains of matter, light begins to shine. It refracts and permeates through the glass, passing between soft fibers of cloth, and lingers there. It gathers and scatters into subtle hues against the surface of freshly-made textiles. Carrying with it the warmth of human hands and a quiet pulse of nature, the light rests within glass and fabric waiting to be seen. Artists Hyunji Kang and Hyunsoo Kim each explore their own “light”, presenting their interpretations of memory, time, and luminosity through two distinct mediums. Glass and fabric treat light in different ways: one lets it pass through, while the other absorbs it. Using glass, Kang visualizes the trajectory of light as it moves through this transparent substance; Kim, meanwhile, uses textiles to incorporate ideas of time and memory through the act of weaving. Their works reveal matter and emotion intersecting, and focus on the moment when light transforms into a memory. Here, light transcends its physical presence and becomes a language, an expression of emotion—one that the artists translate using glass and fabric. In this exhibition, glass and textiles— substances contrasted by their coolness and warmth, rigidity and softness, transparency and opacity—come together in a quiet dialogue. From this encounter emerges a story of light and color. Light takes on different forms; color comes to represent emotion; and the glass and fabric generate new meanings within a shared space. The exhibition captures the precise moment when light turns into sensation. In that instant, we experience both the passage of time and shifts in perception: light reflected on the surface of glass seeps into every strand of fabric, and that warm glow of fabric returns to the glass. Through this subtle exchange, light becomes memory, and memory becomes light again. Presented at the outset of winter, 'Weaving Light' echoes the season in which coldness and warmth coexist. It is an experience that shapes sensation into form. Within the resonance created by glass and fabric, we encounter sensations held together by memory. May a single shaft of that light find its way into your own recollections.
