Fragments of Time

Looking Both Ways: Three Artists
Curator: Jyeong-Yeon Kim
Looking Both Ways: Three Artists from Korea introduces artists Kisoo Kwon, Eun-ae Seo, and Seung Ho Yoo to America. With affection and irony, these members of a new generation reinterpret traditional Korean ink painting and the work of famous masters. They extract elements from historical Korean culture, recycling the old by means of visual puns and humor, in drawings, paintings, installation, and animation.

Estranged Objects
Curator: Paula A. Bigboy
Estranged Objects investigates the literal and metaphorical production of history. Allan McCollum fabricates models copied from natural casts of dinosaur footprints and other fossils. Silvia Gruner manipulates actual pre-Columbian artifacts in performances that explore personal and public relationships to the past. Dario Robleto amasses fragments of material culture and refashions them into contemporary artifacts.
