What does it mean to build an architectural structure when you only have an access to scrap wood, earth, leaves, cardboard and some nails? In addition to the tower of Babel, I am also thinking about iconic towers such as Eiffel tower and the unbuilt Tatlin monument. So I see my structure as a prototype of a monument or an anti-monument based on a variety of archetypal structures such as the Coloseum, Empire State Buildig, and Burj Dubai, currently the tallest building in the world. But the more powerful archetypes that I am looking at are ones existing outside of main stream architecture, the shacks that people outside the castle live in and the shocking poverty that inspired Buddha to abandon his palace life." <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Excerpt from the exhibition catalogue<br />Interview of the artist by Ciara Ennis, Director/Curator of Pitzer Galleries<br /><br />For the full interview text, go to the address below. <br />http://babelchaosofmelancholy.blogspot.com/</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lcft_azq2K4/SrG2bjcNuFI/AAAAAAAAAu8/FaArUCZvkI0/s1600-h/13_Shin_Babel.jpg"><img style="float:left;

Please check out the link below.<br />http://buildingparadisela.blogspot.com/<br />For Amy's work, check her website at www.amygreen-art.com<br /><br />Using construction building materials such as wood, plexiglass panels, paint, and tapes in addition to a video and cut photos, Kyungmi Shin and Amy Green creates an imaginary landscape inspired by the sci-fi movies, mangas, and utopian architecture. Bringing together Static and moving imagery, Green and Shin creates a fantastical world that is in flux and in-between states of being built and deconstructed. Their installation plays with a notion of a paradise that is part imaginary and part real that allow for entropy and flux in isolated or fixed systems.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lcft_azq2K4/SrAxo3nskcI/AAAAAAAAAs4/ZELnRdNLW1o/s1600-h/Rebuilt1.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 249px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lcft_azq2K4/SrAxo3nskcI/AAAAAAAAAs4/ZELnRdNLW1o/s400/Rebuilt1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381856132902719938" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lcft_azq2K4/SrAxkN0pvLI/AAAAAAAAAsw/mzjpoh3-lU8/s1600-h/Rebuilt2.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 255px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lcft_azq2K4/SrAxkN0pvLI/AAAAAAAAAsw/mzjpoh3-lU8/s400/Rebuilt2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381856052963294386" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lcft_azq2K4/SrAxfDucnVI/AAAAAAAAAso/RjUeZsGosaI/s1600-h/12_Shin_Rebuilt.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lcft_azq2K4/SrAxfDucnVI/AAAAAAAAAso/RjUeZsGosaI/s400/12_Shin_Rebuilt.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381855964353568082" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lcft_azq2K4/SrAxYYK32lI/AAAAAAAAAsg/i-MN3u9Z9RM/s1600-h/Rebuilt5.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 248px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lcft_azq2K4/SrAxYYK32lI/AAAAAAAAAsg/i-MN3u9Z9RM/s400/Rebuilt5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381855849582418514" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lcft_azq2K4/SrAxR_KlYqI/AAAAAAAAAsY/9bQSE-5HbAY/s1600-h/11_Shin_Rebuilt.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lcft_azq2K4/SrAxR_KlYqI/AAAAAAAAAsY/9bQSE-5HbAY/s400/11_Shin_Rebuilt.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381855739791106722" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lcft_azq2K4/SrAxLMq9B_I/AAAAAAAAAsQ/XarY9gQu7TY/s1600-h/Rebuilt4.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 270px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lcft_azq2K4/SrAxLMq9B_I/AAAAAAAAAsQ/XarY9gQu7TY/s400/Rebuilt4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381855623157450738" /></a>Kyungmihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13465430259566489561noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6220170221235439774.post-78032658278430190052009-09-15T16:49:00.000-07:002009-09-15T17:14:29.217-07:00"Rich" at Sweeney Gallery, UC Riverside<span style="font-weight:bold;">"Rich" at Sweeney Gallery, UC Riverside<br />January-March 2009<br />curated by Tyler Stallings</span><br /><br />The installation originally shown at the 18th Street Arts Center in Santa Monica traveled to the Sweeney Gallery at UC Riverside.

I am participating in a group exhibit curated by Rita Gonzalez and Kris Kuramitsu, "20 Years Ago Today: Supporting Visual Artists in LA". <br /><br />For JANM, I created a site-specific installation for their lobby space, adapting an installation "Many Waters" originally created for 7+Fig Art Space. I also installed a wall sculpture, "War Cut" from 2005, made with sheets of newspaper covering Iraq War. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">"20 Years Ago Today: Supporting Visual Artists in LA"</span><br />Lynn Aldrich | Cindy Bernard | Natalie Bookchin | Erica Cho | Sandra de la Loza | Roy Dowell | Eve Fowler | Harry Gamboa Jr. | Todd Gray | Jim Isermann | Hilja Keading | Charles LaBelle | William Leavitt | Jesse Lerner | Won Ju Lim | Monica Majoli | Daniel J.

The installation is composed of three video projections, wall paintings, photos and line drawing on the wall and floor. The videos are scenes from funeral shot in Ghana in the village where we have our studio home, and from a African American church service in Inglewood, CA, a block from our Los Angeles home. The fragmented and abstracted images and sound from the video are integrated into the overall wall installation.<br /><br />The exhibit is presented in conjunction with "100% Other: rtists and Psycho-Demographic Transitions" and both this and my exhibit was curated by Tyler Stallings, director, UC Riverside Sweeney Gallery. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">The show opened April 12th, and runs through June 29th, 2008.</span><br />Hours are M-F 12-6PM<br /><br />18th Street Arts Center<br />1639 19th Street, Santa Monica, CA 90404<br />310.453.3711<br />www.18thstreet.org<br /><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyzE3j_bdKICtbMm3oIemQDAeBeGrou5fwb4m_L7o1wqZkDiVA-Ntsx8u9Pibjn1aRuZvl15ABSwlwOZ6u48w' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_lcft_azq2K4/SA5E4WxxfAI/AAAAAAAAAFg/0TJoOIKNzX4/s1600-h/01_MG_0559_med.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;

Their love affair is used as a metaphor by the artist for the meeting between Africa and the West. The phrase itself illustrates the idea of life as a multilayered experience, the intersection of cultures and languages, and multiple, diverse, clashing perspectives. The installation centers around photographic and videographic footage, taken mostly in Ghana, West Africa, of an idyllic tropical life, juxtaposed with painted elements inspired by natural, chaotic entropic growth found in both natural and urban environments. Ultimately, this installation investigates the relationship between nature and culture, utopia and dystopia.<br /><br />The sculptural element of the installation will grow over the course of the 7 weeks of the exhibition period.

It's accessible to general public, so when you are traveling through LAX next time, please check out this installation.<br /><br />February 7 - July 6, 2008<br />LAX Airport, Terminal 3, Baggage Claim Area</span><br /><br />This installation, “Blue: Double-Side”, investigates the relationship between reality, perception and imagination using the color blue as a cue. The installation is composed of painting and photography. The photographs in the installation are taken in Los Angeles and Africa. The painterly elements and photographic images echo and interact with each other. I am incorporating these chance encounters with blue in my travels with painted elements of geometric shapes reminiscent of futuristic architecture and crystal growth. <br /><br />Blue in ancient Egyptian art was depicted with the mineral Lapis Lazuli which purportedly possessed life-giving powers. Blue pigment ground from Lapis Lazuli was used in the depiction of Pharao, Nile, the life-giving and most important river in ancient Egypt, and also in the depiction of the Heavenly sky in ancient Egyptian art. In medieval illuminations and paintings from Europe, the same pigment from Lapis Lazuli was used to paint the robes of Virgin Mary.<br /><br />I started the “Blue” project in 2001 as an attempt to open up my art practice to include accidental discoveries and Dada-esque randomness. I decided that for one year, I would photograph whatever I encountered that was colored blue whether it was the sky or a piece of trash on the ground. The ensuing portfolio of photographs, over one thousand images, served as a basis for several photo installations. The first large scale installation, “Blue”, was made for Seoul Arts Center in 2002 in Seoul, South Korea. Another large installation, “Blue II”, was created at Vox Populi in Philadelphia, PA in 2005. <br /><br />In this new installation developed for the LAX airport, I have worked with new images from my recent travels and created an installation that describes two different worlds- Los Angeles and Ghana- and the air travel between them. There is much blue present in our visual experience, the blue sky, the ocean. And the earth is blue when seen from outer space. This focus on the color blue serves as a beginning point to reflect on the visual poetry that exists in our daily lives. I’ve noticed that in my experience of creating these pictures, the discovery of blue objects became a transformative experience of my daily life. The blue discarded plastic bag was as precious as the blue of the Lapis Lazuli, and I marveled at the poetry of my daily experience. I would be looking at a blue wall, then a passerby with a blue shirt walks by, and at the same time, a blue Pepsi Truck drives by. These small coincidences became poetry written by universe for me as the audience. Many of these encounters, I didn’t have the chance to record on camera, but I was profoundly touched by them. My intention for this installation is to create a poetic experience for the viewers who pass through this area of LAX. As you walk through and see these images, I hope that you have an experience that echoes this poetry of life. <br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_lcft_azq2K4/R74lrj10uQI/AAAAAAAAABc/GC56KOkpnBA/s1600-h/email_Blue+Double+Side+01.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_lcft_azq2K4/R74lrj10uQI/AAAAAAAAABc/GC56KOkpnBA/s400/email_Blue+Double+Side+01.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5169610852553505026" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_lcft_azq2K4/R74ljz10uPI/AAAAAAAAABU/SuH9MEgBJmA/s1600-h/email_Blue+Double+Side+03.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_lcft_azq2K4/R74ljz10uPI/AAAAAAAAABU/SuH9MEgBJmA/s400/email_Blue+Double+Side+03.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5169610719409518834" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_lcft_azq2K4/R74ldD10uOI/AAAAAAAAABM/Kb1AY-OSS_4/s1600-h/email_Blue+Double+Side+04.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_lcft_azq2K4/R74ldD10uOI/AAAAAAAAABM/Kb1AY-OSS_4/s400/email_Blue+Double+Side+04.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5169610603445401826" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_lcft_azq2K4/R74lVj10uNI/AAAAAAAAABE/3OXjoSL46t0/s1600-h/email_Blue+Double+Side+05.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_lcft_azq2K4/R74lVj10uNI/AAAAAAAAABE/3OXjoSL46t0/s400/email_Blue+Double+Side+05.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5169610474596382930" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_lcft_azq2K4/R74lOz10uMI/AAAAAAAAAA8/Kv4Pno1EVjI/s1600-h/email_Blue+Double+Side+06.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_lcft_azq2K4/R74lOz10uMI/AAAAAAAAAA8/Kv4Pno1EVjI/s400/email_Blue+Double+Side+06.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5169610358632265922" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_lcft_azq2K4/R74lCj10uLI/AAAAAAAAAA0/ceOSjhkPm34/s1600-h/email_Blue+Double+Side+07.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_lcft_azq2K4/R74lCj10uLI/AAAAAAAAAA0/ceOSjhkPm34/s400/email_Blue+Double+Side+07.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5169610148178868402" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_lcft_azq2K4/R74k7z10uKI/AAAAAAAAAAs/8o8g6ncFTNk/s1600-h/email_Blue+Double+Side+08.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_lcft_azq2K4/R74k7z10uKI/AAAAAAAAAAs/8o8g6ncFTNk/s400/email_Blue+Double+Side+08.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5169610032214751394" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_lcft_azq2K4/R74k0j10uJI/AAAAAAAAAAk/wGpyF5ZynN4/s1600-h/email_Blue+Double+Side+09.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_lcft_azq2K4/R74k0j10uJI/AAAAAAAAAAk/wGpyF5ZynN4/s400/email_Blue+Double+Side+09.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5169609907660699794" /></a>Kyungmihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13465430259566489561noreply@blogger.com3
