DIALOGUE: Unread is the sixth edition of the Grant for Artist Management Program organized by the Korea Arts Management Service. Featuring ten contemporary Korean artists, the exhibition unfolds in a time shaped by the real-time production of images and the demand for instant response, where sensation and emotion are permitted to exist only when legible. Departing from this logic, ‘Unread’ attends to suspended affect, scattered sensory signals, and emotions that remain unspoken or unnamed. The exhibition proposes a sensory terrain where affect condenses outside of language, where erased feelings re-emerge, and where signals move beyond human-centered frameworks.Through painting, installation, sculpture, and time-based media, the artists act not only as receivers but as transmitters, tracing what has arrived yet remains unconfirmed. Unread unfolds as a strategy of transmission that resists closure and reclaims the conditions of perception itself. And the condition for receiving this transmission remains unread.
