Yoo Hyun Mi: The Blank Puzzle (The Image Yet to Come)

时间: 10月31日周六

地点: STPI – Singapore Tyler Print Institute

Event upcoming 31 Oct – 12 Dec 2026 About The Exhibition STPI presents Yoo Hyun Mi: The Blank Puzzle (The Image Yet to Come), the latest chapter in the artist's long-running The Blank Puzzle project (1998 – present), dedicated to the idea that blankness itself can hold meaning. Marking the first presentation of The Blank Puzzle at this scale in Southeast Asia, the exhibition revisits and expands the landmark series’ enduring exploration of materiality, perception, and the subconscious, at a significant inflection point for the influence of Korean artists globally. An established figure in Korea’s contemporary art scene, Yoo’s practice moves fluidly between sculpture, painting and photography – transporting audiences into her subtle yet limitless world of blankness. Resonant with Korea’s defining Dansaekhwa movement and challenging traditional artistic conventions with her minimalist approach, Yoo collapses boundaries between the real and imagined, the open-ended and the predetermined. The exhibition follows Yoo’s residencies at STPI over the past three years, with explorations of new forms and material directions in print and papermaking. Pioneering and experimenting with a range of new mediums and techniques in collaboration with STPI’s world-renowned Workshop, The Blank Puzzle (The Image Yet to Come) marks a significant chapter in a body of work that has evolved over nearly three decades. Woven into the exhibition’s narrative are the origins of The Blank Puzzle, in which a chance encounter while assembling a jigsaw with her son sparked the foundational elements of Yoo’s multidisciplinary body of work. For the artist, the pictured side of a puzzle piece represents consciousness, while the blank reverse is the structure of the subconscious. At the heart of the exhibition, STPI has specially constructed a room within a room to present works from Yoo’s A Perfect Duet series, creating an interplay between two- and three-dimensional interpretations of works on paper. A reflective space that allows for a more intimate viewing experience, visitors are invited into the inner world of The Blank Puzzle, being drawn deeper into the characters, forms and relationships that emerge from her work. An onsite reading room will house copies of Yoo’s short story, in which the protagonist Blank personifies The Blank Puzzle’s message in the search for their ‘bigger picture’, as well as a new catalogue produced by STPI encompassing the artist’s latest body of work, contextualised alongside a selection of pieces from previous series. Playing with colour, volume and shape, works across the Flying Carpet, The Puzzler, and One or Two series unfold across the exhibition, demonstrating Yoo’s versatile practice – from configuring kaleidoscopic puzzle pieces that challenge the notion of a singular image, to layering handmade paper into dense, wood-like forms that blur the boundaries between image and object.
