Current Exhibition

Rondi Park

It follows the wind from a pipe and grows with it 

19 January – 2 May 2026

Event with performance: Sunday 22 March, 14:00 - 17:00

Rondi Park's solo exhibition centres on five new works sculpted in ceramic or sugar. Their intricate forms echo those of ocarina vessel flutes; each has a mouthpiece opening, and smaller holes along the body, which acts as a resonator.

Held in the imagination, flutes are tricksters; they transfigure air into art and produce hypnotic sounds known to mimic birdsong or to lead children astray. Grouped together, these flutes too are convivially conspiring, awaiting players.

In presenting the ocarinas alongside a 'breathe in / breathe out' score mapped across the salon walls, breathing is explored as a physical imprint of emotional states. Park invites the audience to blow low notes into the ocarinas, and, in exercising the breath, actively recall the embodied feeling of a fleeting moment. 

‘It follows the wind from a pipe and grows with it’; the breath becomes a whistle, a sound that can fill the room when practiced in sync.

Midway through the exhibition, Park will return to London to reconfigure the installation, representing a real-time process of accumulation and making. This second iteration will open with a new performance on 22 March.

Rondi Park is an artist based in Seoul and Basel. Their practice spans various media including textiles, performance, and ceramics. It focuses on amplifying personal history into social phenomena. Park explores the aesthetic power of emotions such as zaniness, cuteness, and curiosity, by weaving narratives that mediate the relationship between these emotions and society through desire or longing.
