From the artist working journal

My work speaks the imaginary question of relationships and relation of all things through the medium of the object. My art has pursued the value of pure molding by placing diverse feelings in nature and life in molds called cloisonne and ceramics. And it has sprouted from the breaks from formal, structural and monolithic things and has drawn discourse about vitality in the formative frame. Recent works have focused on beautiful relationships and relations including acquisitions and empties that pass through the journey of our lives, the disappearance and memory of life and death, and various phases based on reality. It projects many stories of our lives as well as the spirit of making cloisonne and ceramics completed by being tempered with fire one by one. The relationships represented in the aggregation of the various objects symbolized under the narration indicate that there is a point to the question of the inner nature which is different from the fixation of the superficial eye and the formative language which scrutinizes the self.

Now Fermenting

Haneul Park & Caroline Yoo

August 21 - Sept 1, 2018

Opening Reception: Aug 24, 2018 6PM-8PM

Using video, performance, sculpture, and photography “Now Fermenting,” an exhibition by Haneul Park and Caroline Yoo, examines the act of fermentation in relation to current day society, technology, and identity.

Park’s technology-driven exploration into a generation’s portrayal of their identity oftentimes uses a collage of found and manipulated footage to create a surreal representation of the serious. On the other hand, Yoo delves into a performative investigation of what it is to be a multi-cultural body in the current day political arena of the United States of America, questioning the embedded societal norms of colonization.

Each stir a complex concoction of ingredients of their individual “fermentation”, a shared act of fluidity among human beings. Formulated with an endless list of controllable and uncontrollable variables, from the way we were nurtured to the locations, virtual and physical, we tread, from the people we cross paths with and those we keep walking past, we are forever in flux. Pause and consider the challenges against the expected narrative that is the 21st century.

We are all fermenting.
