Sull’orlo della forma con l’artista coreano Peter Kim al Museo Bilotti di Roma.
Pensiamo alle forma dei vasi e a delle matasse informi. Per Peter Kim la forma del Vaso è l’archetipo che contiene la memoria del mondo.
Dove confluiscono finito e infinito.
Siamo così ai bordi del reale, tra figura e vuoto.
Perchè un vaso che contiene è un momento senza tempo.
Ed è questa è la poetica di Peter Kim.
Un artista ancora poco conosciuto in Italia, che realizza opere di grandi dimensioni (anche di 4 metri) dove disegna linee, tipo un mantra visivo, e intreccia fili con un’ ossessione gestuale.
Io credo che gli artisti che lavorano sempre sugli stessi temi e con le stesse tecniche, riescano ad approfondire il loro messaggio, fino all’estremo, proprio come riesca a fare Peter Kim.
Sull’orlo della forma è una mostra che si legge come una ragnatela d’artista.
Peter Kim cattura il reale: la memoria, le fratture del tempo e le sollecitazioni del presente.
Per questa mostra al Museo Bilotti, la curatrice Maria Giovanna Musso aveva raccolto opere di Peter Kim sul tema del vaso. Poi aveva inserito anche una serie di disegni e di opere materiche fatte di matasse informi e colorate.
Il catalogo relativo alla mostra è con i testi di Maria Giovanna Musso e Vittoria Biasi.

PRESS RELEASE english version
The Korean artist Peter Kim at the Bilotti Museum of Villa Borghese with “On the edge of the shape”
This exhibition, curated by Maria Giovanna Musso, is dedicated to the relationship between form and emptiness, and in particular to archetypal theme of the vessel.
Carlo Bilotti Museum
Villa Borghese Orangery
June 22 to November 4 2018
Rome, 21 June 2018. Vases and shapeless skeins of colored threads. Especially the Vase, as an archetypal form, a timeless location in which to store the memory of the world, a form which separates and includes, where the finite and infinite converge.
Promoted by Roma Capitale, Department of Cultural Growth-Cultural Heritage Authority of the City of Rome, conceived and curated by Maria Giovanna Musso, supported by De Berg and organized by Comediarting, the exhibition of the Korean artist Peter Kim arrives in Rome in preview at the Carlo Bilotti Museum in Villa Borghese. Zètema Culture Project museum services.
Peter Kim, a Korean artist currently based in the United States, trained in Asia and Europe. His works have been exhibited in several museums and galleries in France, Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Belgium, Mexico, Serbia etc.
He combines inspirations from both the Eastern and Western symbolic universes.
The expressive research is characterized by a constant reminder to the archetypal themes of memory, of fractures in time and strains from the present, with particular reference to the relationship between nature and culture.
Kim chooses the line as a vehicle to access the deepest folds of reality. In his work the repeated line is used as a visual mantra, a gestural obsession which affects the space and builds a web intended to annex reality.
Like a drop digging a stone, or a sound expanding into whirlpools, the lines thicken up until they fill the void, wrapping it up and giving it a contour from which the figure takes shape.
The Bilotti exhibition presents a selection of Kim’s work mainly dedicated to the archetypal theme of the vessel, along with a series of drawings and some more matter oriented works (shapeless bundles of colored threads), placed in a thematic frame that enhances both the character of the venue and the peculiarity of an artist still little known in Italy.
Along with some videos providing a deeper insight into Kim’s artistic career, the works chosen for this exhibition are those in which the artist explores the memory of a suspended time, lingering at the edges of reality, insisting on the limits of the figure and the void that it outlines, on the brink of shape where the fate of things is decided.
