The Seoul Museum of Craft Art is pleased to present "Matter to Practice", an exhibition that highlights the work of contemporary artists who explore the evolving relationship between matter and practices. In this exhibition, matter is not a passive resource but an active agent, unique properties that provoke responses and shape the act of making. The featured artists reclaim discarded materials, experiment with production methods grounded in nature's cyclical systems, and investigate the compatibility between material and information. By examining the ways in which we engage with material both technically and conceptually, Matter to Practice reveals how craft is expanding beyond manual skill to become a sensory and critical practice attuned to the world around us. We invite you to explore contemporary craft and its future possibilities through the three sections of this exhibition: Reconstructing Waste, Primordial Creation, Immaterial Matter.

Exhibition period 2025.08.26 ~ 2025.11.23
