Silver, the everyday

Hyun-seok Sim,

1 June - 8 July, 2023

Hyun-seok Sim is renowned as one of Korea's master-craftsmen working in silver. In this, his first solo exhibition in Melbourne, we present an extensive survey of his works for the body, as well as works for the table.

Hyun-seok is perhaps best known for a series of functioning cameras, handmade in sterling silver, which he produced in the early 2000s. We are thrilled to be showing a fine example from 2004, and one of the last remaining.
