ATAKA is pleased to present the traveling exhibition of “Obsession,” a solo exhibition by Korean designer and artist Lee Kwangho, originally held as the inaugural exhibition of PAAMA, a space that opened in Kagurazaka, Tokyo, in 2024.
Working with a wide range of everyday materials such as Styrofoam, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), iron, and clay, Lee Kwangho is known for his expansive and experimental approach to expression. He is currently regarded as one of the leading figures in the Korean design scene. This exhibition will feature woven works made with ropes and cables—elements that have become his signature style.
Named “Obsession,” this series consists of works conceived with the function of planters in mind. Handwoven by Lee himself, the pieces possess an intense presence that vividly embodies his sense of obsession. The exhibition was realized through ongoing exchanges after Akinobu Maeda, founder of PAAMA, visited Lee Kwangho’s studio in Korea.
In addition, the exhibition will feature and offer for sale the accompanying publication "Lee Kwangho Obsession”, as well as works created through collaborative projects between Lee Kwangho and Japanese company.
We sincerely look forward to welcoming you.
