A THEORETICAL EXPLORATION OF SOUND IN CONTEMPORARY KOREAN ART BY SVA ALUMNI
July 8 - 22, 2006 Reception: Tuesday, July 11, 6 - 8pm
School of Visual Arts (SVA) and SVA Korean Alumni Association present “Sóu-Lí/Sound,” an exhibition of works by 48 South Korean artists who graduated from SVA. Curated by sculptor, installation artist and SVA alumna Jong Yuen Ahn (1992 MFA Fine Arts).
“Sóu-Lí/Sound” focuses on three ranges of sound: high frequency, human range and low frequency. In the words of Ahn, whose work taps the unique properties of light and water to explore culture and memory, “All things in the world have their own sound. Higher frequency sound emanates from the heavens, human range frequency is produced within the realm of human activity, and lower frequency sound - sound produced by nature - comes from the earth.” The exhibition will feature work in a variety of media, including photography, illustration and computer art.
“Sóu-Lí/Sound” will introduce American audiences to both established and emerging artists from South Korea, some of whom continue to live and work in their native country and others who have settled in the U.S. or Canada. Among the artists who have returned to Korea are Sun Kyung Cho, Kyung Ja Kim and Yong-Kyu Lee. Among those artists who now call the U.S. home are Jen Kim, Soyeon Cho and WonJung Choi.
Jong Yuen Ahn (MFA 1992 Fine Arts) has been the subject of solo and group exhibitions in New York, Japan and China as well as her native Korea. A pervading theme in much of her work has been different aspects of light - projection, reflection, and refraction - both as a substance and a material. She is best known for Sound of Light, a series of indoor and outdoor installations completed in Seoul and Pusan, Korea.
