Why it matters now

The short exhibition opened on October 28, 2026 and closes on November 2. Daily viewing hours are available in the official listing.

Looking at the spaces between objects

In 'Gaps in Everyday Life,' artist Hwang Hyeok-su starts with simple square wooden forms. As objects overlap or stand apart, light passes through the gaps, creating changing shadows and layers. The exhibition invites viewers to notice the spaces between forms as much as the objects themselves.

Visitor information

The exhibition runs October 28–November 2, 2026, 10 a.m.–6 p.m., at KCDF Gallery, 8 Insadong 11-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul. Admission is free. The official page suggests Anguk Station Exit 6 or Jonggak Station Exit 3-1. There is no dedicated gallery parking.

Check the room on arrival

The official listing labels the venue 'Exhibition Room 3,' while the text says 'Exhibition Room 1 (third floor).' These descriptions conflict, so the exact room number should be confirmed with the gallery.

What we're seeing

The artistic focus is the changing light and shadows in the gaps, not simply the wooden blocks.

What we still don't know

The two exhibition-room references in the official notice disagree. Booking requirements and any real-time admission restrictions were not confirmed.
