CHANNEL : WAVE-PARTICLE DUALITY

In quantum physics, we are a physical being, in other words, a particle with mass and a wave. Therefore, all matter including human beings is much like a frequency that fluctuates as it vibrates, rather than a fixed substance. We maintain a particle state physically, but often experience a wave state emotionally or spiritually.

“Channel: Wave-Particle Duality” is a journey for individuals with a body who feel like a particle. It provides them with a chance to realize, even just for a moment, that they can also be a wave by being part of the whole. Once we recognize that we can be a wave-like being, how will it influence our particle-like perspective on everyday life?

This year’s exhibitions offer a moment of such realization through “engagement,” “exchange,” and “participation” and invites contemplation of “I, you, we, culture, and life.” The meaning of “I” and “you” can be expanded to include “individuals (entity) and subjects,” and “Changwon citizens and artists and Korean and international artists and audiences,” respectively.

The Changwon Sculpture Biennale 2022 introduces the concept of the duality of particle and wave properties to the Open Studios of local artists, galleries and art museums. It features the works of sculptors at home and aboard against the backdrop of Seongsan Art Hall, 3·15 Nuri Marine Park, Chang-dong Art Village Art Center, Jinhae Black & White, and outdoor venues to highlight their social, industrial, and environmental implications.
