Exhibition Curation
▾ Sil(h)ence (2021)
Role: Curator
Venue: Kunstverein am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz, Berlin (Germany)
Dates: 9 October – 29 October 2021
Artist: Woo Chang-won
Curated with: Chinara Valci Mazzara
Sil(h)ence marked Woo Chang-won’s first international solo exhibition. The title merges “silence” and “hence,” proposing silence not as absence but as a generative threshold—an entry point into introspection, perceptual renewal, and conceptual stillness. Drawing from Eastern philosophical understandings of emptiness (空), the exhibition examined non-action and interior quietude as states of possibility rather than negatio
Centered on Woo’s series The Face with Closed Eyes, the exhibition presented cast facial masks photographed against grayscale voids. By suspending individuality, narrative, and temporality, the works created an ambiguous terrain where presence and absence coexist
The curatorial approach emphasized minimal display, restrained lighting, and deliberate pacing to construct a contemplative spatial environment. Silence became a mode of inquiry, inviting viewers to confront fundamental questions of being: What remains when expression, identity, and narrative recede?
The exhibition functioned as a meditative space in which “emptiness” emerged not as void but as openness—an expanded field where the viewer’s inner reflection became part of the work.
▾ MORPHO: Portable Pressure (2019)
Daegu Photo Biennale — Special Exhibition
Role: Assistant Curator
Venue: Kunstverein am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz, Berlin (Germany)
Dates: 23 August – 7 September 2019
Participating Artists: Woo Chang-won, Jung Sung-tae, Henrik Strömberg, Ricarda Roggan
Curator: Chinara Valci Mazzara
MORPHO: Portable Pressure was the first international satellite exhibition of the Daegu Photo Biennale, bringing together Korean and European photographers to explore cross-cultural dialogues in contemporary photographic practice. The exhibition examined how photography responds to distinct cultural and geographical conditions, foregrounding tensions and affinities between Korean and European approaches to materiality, perception, and spatial imagination.
Positioned between two photographic traditions, the project sought to create a visual encounter shaped by mobility, displacement, and shifting sensibilities.
Developed as a collaboration between the Daegu Photo Biennale and Kunstverein am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz, the exhibition bridged institutions across national contexts and fostered cross-cultural exchange through contemporary photography.
As Assistant Curator, Park Hye-in contributed to exhibition coordination, artist liaison, and contextual research supporting the exhibition’s conceptual framing and international positioning.
▾ Place, the End of One’s Journey (2017)
Role: Curator
Venue: GlogauAIR, Berlin (Germany)
Dates: 15 December – 17 December 2017
Participating Artists: Jinran Ha, Hagit Cohavi, Laura Mascarenhas
Selected through GlogauAIR Berlin’s curatorial open call, this group exhibition brought together three women artists from Europe and Asia to examine shifting notions of “place” in an era of migration and global mobility. The project proposed that place is no longer exclusively geographical but constructed through memory, embodied perception, and lived experience.
The exhibition explored how individuals build internal geographies that travel with them across borders. Through urban landscapes, personal archives, and ephemeral recollections, the participating artists rearticulated place beyond physical site—as something sustained in stories, emotions, and sensory traces.
The spatial design encouraged slow movement and reflective engagement, creating an environment in which memory, mobility, and spatial imagination overlapped.
As curator, Park Hye-in developed the conceptual framework, coordinated with international artists, and shaped the spatial layout to foreground relational and process-based understandings of place.
