Dates: September 30–November 15, 2026

Location: Changwon, South Korea

Han Dong participates in the Changwon Sculpture Biennale 2026 with Hive Center for Contemporary Art, presenting Elegy of the Ice Age No. 9 (Sacrifice) and Ode to the Sun No. 20 (The Might of the Earth).

Under the theme “Resonance Field,” the biennale explores sculpture as an expanded medium in dialogue with both history and the present. Hosted by Changwon Special City and organized and managed by the Changwon Cultural Foundation, the exhibition extends across cultural venues and urban spaces, including Seongsan Art Hall, the House of Changwon, the Changwon History and Folklore Museum, the Jinhae Station area, and Masan Fish Market.

Elegy of the Ice Age No. 9 (Sacrifice) continues Han Dong’s exploration of prehistoric time and the earliest states of life. His practice seeks an instinctive realm beyond learned experience and established knowledge, returning sculpture to a shared spiritual source. Here, sacrifice becomes more than a ritual scene: it evokes a condition of existence in which life yields and transforms within time and the laws of nature.

Ode to the Sun No. 20 (The Might of the Earth) is a representative work from Han Dong’s ongoing Ode to the Sun series. Moving beyond literal representation, the sculpture gives bronze form to the elemental energy stirring beneath the earth, suggesting a latent vitality slowly rising to the surface.

2026昌原雕塑双年展：共振场

展览时间：2026年9月30日—11月15日

展览地点：韩国昌原

蜂巢当代艺术中心携艺术家韩冬的作品《冰河纪的挽歌9号（献祭）》与《献给太阳的颂歌20号（大地之力）》参加2026昌原雕塑双年展。

本届双年展以“Resonance Field（共振场）”为主题，将雕塑作为一种“延展媒介”展开探讨，回应历史与当下。展览由昌原特别市主办、昌原文化财团组织管理，在城山艺术殿堂、昌原之家、昌原历史与民俗馆、镇海站一带及马山鱼市场等文化场馆与城市空间展开。

《冰河纪的挽歌9号（献祭）》延续了韩冬对史前时间与生命原初状态的持续探寻。他的创作尝试进入一种超越既有经验与知识的本能领域，使雕塑回到人类共同的精神本源。在这件作品中，“献祭”不再只是具象叙事中的仪式场景，而是一种更深层的存在状态——生命在时间与自然法则中的主动让渡与转化。

《献给太阳的颂歌20号（大地之力）》是韩冬“献给太阳的颂歌”系列的代表作之一。作品跳脱写实具象的形式，将大地深处蓬勃涌动的原生动能凝铸于青铜，使蛰伏地底的生命力缓缓升腾。
