Frieze Seoul 2023
September 6-9, 2023
Jessica Silverman is pleased to announce the gallery’s inaugural participation in Frieze Seoul and Woody De Othello’s first solo exhibition in Asia. Running from September 6 to 9, the exhibition is comprised of new ceramic, bronze, and wood sculptures as well as new oil paintings by the Miami-born artist of Haitian descent.
Titled “Mineral Memory,” Othello’s show explores home as a space where time and personal history are anchored. The first edition of a bronze sculpture titled the healers gathered around (2023) has two pairs of legs, seated ritualistically, emblematic of a small supportive community, which upholds others as well as themselves. On top of the bronze rests an exquisitely glazed ceramic head besieged by three hands, which suggest the figure is deep in thought, in the process of being molded in clay, or both. Among other things, the healers gathered around is about collective idea formation.
