Ad Minoliti’s Geometries of the Forest in Seoul

Argentinian artist Ad Minoliti is set to stage her abstract geometric paintings in her first solo show in Korea, titled ‘Geometries of the Forest,’ at Peres Projects Seoul. The exhibition, opening on June 22, will feature Minoliti’s signature bright-colored works, exploring themes related to the circulatory system of forests.

In creating this exhibition, Minoliti sought to illustrate the relational aspects of the natural world, drawing sartorial inspiration from the writings of philosopher Donna Haraway. Haraway advocates for a revision of traditional notions of identity to account for the inherent interdependence of all living and non-living forms.

Minoliti’s works are organized like ecological systems, allowing each organic shape on her canvases to play its part in a larger environmental structure. For instance, in ‘MAGIC Dust,’ a caterpillar appears atop a mushroom cap and a yellow reptilian tongue, while a blue mushroom forms the body of the insect.

‘Geometries of the Forest’ will mark the first installment in a new concept that Minoliti will further explore with a “major institution” in Germany this fall. Although details are currently sparse, the artist’s forthcoming next installment will transform an underground gallery space into a fungal cavern.

The ‘Geometries of the Forest’ exhibition will open at Peres Projects Seoul on June 22 and remain on view through mid-August.
