Kukje Gallery will present Louise Bourgeois: Rocking to Infinity, focusing on the final two decades of the artist’s career. The exhibition gathers sculptures, drawings, and fabric suites that meditate on intimacy, memory, and time. The title, drawn from Bourgeois’s own writing, evokes the image of a mother rocking a child to sleep. This gesture of security and tenderness resonates throughout the works on view.
Immersive wall installations pair gouaches and watercolors that revisit themes of the self, the couple, family, and the spiral. The gallery’s center hosts major sculptures which explore emotional bonds and the passage of time. The Hanok space introduces a rarer body of drawings on coffee filters, made in 1994, where circular compositions bridge domestic material with reflections on cycles, abstraction, and organic form. All together, the works reveal Bourgeois’s late practice as both intimate and monumental.
