"NÔUL"

In the exhibition NOUL, The viewers are invited to physically interact and investigate certain design pieces that transcend the visual and aesthetic simplicity, and therefore offering a temporary refuge from the hustle and bustle of life. 

"Noul,” is a Korean work meaning "tranquility and ease." The idea of the exhibition first started from a conversation while Korean and Korean-American artists shared similar experiences. Artists from other countries often associate Korean artworks with quietness and slowness. These Korean artists decided to actualize such characteristics. 

It showcases eleven Korean artists from Cranbrook Academy of Art: works ranging from Paintings, sculptures, design furniture, and installations. These works embody a sense of contemplative stillness through the form in both two-dimensional and three-dimensional space.
