GORU GORU de Seulgi Lee

Seulgi Lee’s solo exhibition GORU GORU brings together, for the first time in a French institution, a vast body of work created by the artist over the last twenty-five years. The title of the exhibition, GORU GORU, which means “a bit of everything” in Korean, refers to the notion of a diverse and balanced whole; an exhibition conceived as a meal in which one would eat a little of everything—flavours, textures, raw, cooked, fermented, sweet, savoury, animal, plant, cold, hot—and where each element is treated equally. The title’s sound also evokes the G, the R, and the O of the Garonne and the swirling presence of its waters at the foot of the Frac. GORU GORU thus offers an immersion into Seulgi Lee’s practice, where early works stand alongside more recent pieces—some made specifically for the exhibition; a veritable bath of colour where simple, sometimes performative gestures and forms make objects “dance” or “speak”.
