Lexicon : These are artists in the Singapore Biennale 2022 who have created a personal langauge. All artwork are lexiconic but some are more lexiconic than others.
Shin Beomsum don't see a stone as ordinary. He researched into petroglyphs, which are stone carvings made by removing part of a stone’s surface by picking, abrading or carving. He see veining lines, texture and patterns as an opportunity to connect mythology and story to it in the installation Stone Tablets. There is more than meets the eye ... the common stone becomes extraordinary with meaning. It can potentiality inspire a community of stone tablets creators and collectors who share the new language of the stone tablets. What can be more lexiconic than that !
Yoon Mi Ae may start the journey having a conscious desire to explore what can be build using this new technique. One attempt was to piece an object , an old house from memory. Later on Yoon developed the series Communication Wafers. The subconscious process allows Yoon's inner voice to create the artworks. I wonder can conscious Yoon interpret subconscious Yoon lexicon ? In the exhibition Yoon only describes the subconscious process but not what Yoon think it means.
