Work in Progress marks the first comprehensive solo exhibition of designer and artist Youmin. Having created a wide range of spaces, objects, and furniture, he now presents his practice within the very environment he designed for Working With Friend. Rather than focusing on finished results, the exhibition reveals the ongoing processes, adjustments, and formal explorations that have shaped his work over the years. Youmin’s practice begins with form and function, gradually expanding into new spatial experiences through colour, light, reflection, and balance. Structural motifs drawn from exercise equipment, the clarity of forms found in his furniture and objects, and his long-standing exploration of mirrors all play central roles. For him, the mirror is not merely a reflective surface; it is a visual device that prompts us to look again. Through reflection, layering, symmetry, and distortion, familiar structures are reinterpreted, giving his work its distinct rhythm and depth. This exhibition brings together the visual language he has developed over many years, presenting it as a coherent, evolving context. Bold yet controlled colour combinations, restrained structural forms, the interplay of planes and lines, and spatial expansion through reflective effects all represent consistent threads within his practice. The title Work in Progress encapsulates his approach: forms remain unfixed, meanings continue to shift, and the work moves steadily into its next phase. What is shown here is this ongoing state, laid bare. The exhibition carries special significance in that it takes place within the Working With Friend space he designed himself. Here, space and work do not exist as separate elements; they form a single structure that has grown in tandem, influencing and reinforcing one another. The result is an experience in which his works breathe most naturally, situated within their original conceptual environment. Youmin trained at the Seoul Arts High School before studying sculpture and design at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and ArtCenter College of Design. His diverse practice across furniture, spatial design, lighting, and objects connects the act of making with the act of looking, continually proposing new sensory and spatial experiences. Work in Progress presents the trajectory of his sustained experiments and inquiries as a single unfolding scene. Rather than encountering completed objects, visitors find themselves within the evolving process, meeting the work exactly as it exists now—shifting, growing, and still in motion.
