A solo exhibition of the emerging artist Minaliza1000. In the site-specific string installation, Groundless, the artist has created a curved matrix that is suspended within the space of the gallery. The piece is an interactive interface in which video and sound components are triggered by the visitor's movement in and around the artwork.
Introducing Korean-America artist Minaliza1000
Reception for the artist: Thursday, 20 June, 6 - 8 PM
Gallery Summer Hours: Tuesday - Friday, 12-5pm
Lance Fung Gallery is pleased to present the solo exhibition of the emerging
artist MINALIZA1000. In the site-specific string installation, GROUNDLESS,
the artist has created a curved matrix that is suspended within the space of
the gallery. The piece is an interactive interface in which video and sound
components are triggered by the visitor's movement in and around the artwork.
GROUNDLESS is about the feeling of groundlessness as we move from a sensorial
understanding of the world to an intellectual model of a particle-based
Universe. Drawing from the Super String Theory in physics, the artist di
srupts the surface of the gallery with a scintillating elastic string
structure. The pristine white space of the gallery takes on a cosmic
dimension, presenting a new kind of Universe in a box.
This recent work is part of a series of installations in which the artist has
alluded to theoretical schemas. In each installation, the theoretical schema
is represented by the physical elements of the piece and undermined by its
virtual elements. In a past work, titled DESIRING INFINITY, a series of
strings converged on a digital vanishing point which alternately existed,
moved, and disappeared. Other works have dealt with theories covering the
Fibonacci's Golden Section, Alberti's Linear Perspective, and the Cartesian
Grid. The GROUNDLESS installation is sponsored and owned by SSAMZIE CO., LTD.
MINALIZA1000, who trained as a painter under Grace Hartigan and did her first
Masters degree at the Maryland Institute College of Art, recently completed
her second Masters in Imaging and Digital Arts at the University of Maryland.
She has been a recipient of Honorariums from the Contemporary Museum and the
Mayor's Advisory Committee on Art and Culture of Baltimore, Maryland. Her
exhibitions include showing at the Arlington Arts Center in VA, Korean
Culture and Arts Foundation Gallery in Seoul, as well as video screening at
Film Forum, LA. As a promoter of science-based art, she organized a group
show and arts event, SCI-ART: EXTENSIONS OF BEING, at the Maryland Art Place,
MD. She is currently teaching Electronic Media and Culture at the Maryland
Institute College of Art.
The Lance Fung Gallery is in its fifth exhibition season after creating an
internationally recognized program. The owner, Lance Fung has been involved
in the New York Art World for over a decade with his most important position
