Description

This drawing relates to relates to Kim Beom's mixed-media installation, A Rock that was Taught it Was a Bird (2010), also part of the Cleveland Museum of Art's collection. In the study, Kim envisioned the configuration of his project, which features a ready-made sculpture made from a stone and tree bough, a table, and a video monitor.
