You are the director of the Kim Kim Gallery , which, depending on the situation, describes yourself as a charitable organization, an in situ work of art, an art trade working with unconventional marketing, a curatorial approach, an exhibition designer or a publisher of rare art books. In short, as something that cannot always be clearly defined under the term gallery. They very rarely appear in public alone.

Relationships that don't exist

The artist couple is perhaps best known for their miniatures called " Relationships Do Not Exist ". It is a group of sculptures that is one of the largest series in the work of Gregory Maass & Nayoungim. "Relationships That Don't Exist" are iconic works, of philosophical acumen and visual humor. The title comes from the saying of the famous French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan "sexual relationships that do not exist" (in the original "Il n'y a pas de rapport sexuel"). From a large pool of toy figures from the 1950s to the present day, a selection is read out and dismembered in complicated processes and then put together to form new figures, painted and placed on bases from former sports trophies. Gregory Maass & Nayoungim call this process an adaptation method: "First we cannibalize the figures, and then we frankensteins them."

A snowman for Busan

(Original title: A Snowman for Busan ) is a work of art in public space in Busan , a city where it rarely snows. It is a chrome-plated steel snowman that was installed on the water tank of a local kindergarten.

The face represents the past, present and future of the city of Seoul.

Exhibitions

Tears of boredom

(Tears Of Boredom) Gregory Maass' first solo exhibition "Tears of Boredom " took place in 1991 in Hagen . It consisted of tautological representations of peanuts. Large format peanut butter paintings depicting peanuts , black and white photographs of peanuts and installations and peanuts positioned in Tensegrity .

According to Nayoungim, “... [he] spent most of the early years at the art academy working with peanuts and taking pictures of vegetable constructions. He even passed a final exam of a morphology course with a massive plaster peanut that he found it difficult to lift onto the exam table. "

The early worm catches the bird

(Original title: The Early Worm Catches The Bird ) was an exhibition by the duo that dealt with the various forms of success in art. Be it fame and honor, money and power or the desired outcome of an attempt. The title comes from Genesis P-Orridge 's first record with Worm. "In the summer of 1968 Worm made his first and only vinyl recording, called Early Worm in the attic of Megson's parents in Solihull. It was pressed as a vinyl record by Deroy Sound Services in Manchester in November. Only one copy was produced. A second album "Catching the Bird, was recorded but never pressed."

The nice tofu

(Original title: The Handsome Tofu ) " Tofu embodies mildness, nutritiousness, purity, shaped formlessness, tasteless tastelessness, the crème de la crème, exclusivity, peacefulness and so on, this was the inspiration of the exhibition." The exhibition was organized by the Department for Philosophy and Art organized by the city of Assen in North Holland.

The survival of the shittyest

(Original title: Survival of the Shitest ) was an exhibition that was realized with the help of mentally ill patients in the 3bisF room for contemporary art in Aix-en-Provence, France.
