noooOOOO danggit

i was going through my old yearbooks and found a message from a korean exchange student who was in my french class in 2008. she wrote a cute little message in korean, even though i couldn't read it, and left me her email address.

i've been studying korean on my own for 4 years now, so i was happy to find i could read the message! it was just general friendly stuff -- "since we've been studying french together so diligently, let's practice together, here's my email, visit me in korea someday" etc etc. i didn't keep in touch with her because we were just sort of acquaintances, plus she was a junior and i was a freshman and tbh i was a little intimidated by her and her polylingual skills.

but i went to email her just now, typed out a lovely message to her in korean, was fully prepared to surprise her with how much i've learned and to walk down memory lane together...

and the email bounced back!!!! T_T

i guess it was silly to expect that an email address from nearly 15 years ago would still be functioning but... i was so excited. i thought i'd found a perfect penpal to practice korean. :(

anyway, if anyone knows a girl named kakyoung in korea who studied abroad to america in 2008, pls tell her lee ann would love to get back in touch :/

Throw Back Thursday to Art-in-Buildings' 2012 exhibition at the West 10th Window: Kakyoung Lee, Climbing Up!

Kakyoung Lee's Climbing Up, the inaugural exhibition in this space, featured a two-channel moving image projection of a character endlessly climbing up a wooden plank. Lee's delicate moving images belie her time-consuming and intricate process, which involves the creation of hundreds of hand drawings or etchings to produce the final animated work. Lee challenges notions of scale and the viewer's mode of perception with works that serve as witnesses to everyday moments, like waiting to cross the street, that are usually quickly forgotten or unacknowledged. This subject is apt for a storefront exhibition space; the audience included pedestrians hurrying from one place to another who will encounter the installation by chance.

Kakyoung Lee’s moving images are focused on the repetitive nature of personal daily life. The monotonous daily ritual is deconstructed and reconstructed in a fresh configuration in which nothing is the same and all things are in continuous flux.

Hyperallergic: Colorful and Immersive Experiences at the 2017 Gowanus Open Studios

Works in Joell Baxter’s studio (all photos by Hrag Vartanian/Hyperallergic)

It seemed very fitting that my way to Gowanus Open Studios this weekend, I rode my bike over the Gowanus Canal, where I spotted a woman, paintbrush in hand, standing on the bridge with an easel and a canvas between her and the canal. Now that the infamously polluted waterway is getting cleaned up (maybe even swimmable?) and its neighborhood namesake gentrifies, it’s become worthy of a landscape painting.

One of Jessica Dalrymple’s many Urbanscape works on canvas (2015–16) that imagine a new Gowanus (image courtesy the artist)

Jessica Dalrymple, one of the more than 300 artists that participated in Open Studios, would likely agree. In her series of verdant panoramic paintings of Gowanus, she said she imagined a melding of the past, present, and future of the area.

Inside Tamara Staples’s studio

Just upstairs from Dalrymple’s studio, Tamara Staples divulged the very personal story behind her installation of textiles, furniture, and pillows, all containing an at-times subtle design of pharmaceutical pills. When her sister��who suffered from bipolar disorder—died, the artist collected all of her leftover pills, creating designs she would then photograph and transfer onto fabric, using it to create otherworldly installations.

The author exploring one of Bobby Anspach’s newest art experiences in his studio

Speaking of otherworldly, I had a very unique experience literally sticking my head inside a work at Bobby Anspach’s studio. Laying down face-up on a mattress on the floor, my head surrounded by a half-dome of fuzzy crafting pompoms lit up and changing gradually colors, I listened to a calming composition while staring at my own eyes in a mirror hanging from the top of the dome. To say it was a surreal experience would be a great understatement.

The watercolor shirts and patterns of John Richey

On the opposite side of the Gowanus Canal, the art studios on the third floor of Treasure Island Storage—in what might technically be Red Hook—was a goldmine in artistic talent. (To be fair, with over 70 total, this was also the venue with the most artists in one place.)

There were a lot of great ceramicists throughout, but I was particularly struck by two sculptors, who share a studio space and both work with wood, Craig Kaths and Jacob Farber. While Kaths carves wooden replicas of music and recording studio equipment—complete with cords upon cords upon cords connecting everything—Farber has a giant roughly carved wooden hand hanging from his ceiling. He says he’s trying to figure out a way to transform it into a puppet, but it’s taking a while, as the mechanics of all the movements of a hand are much more complex than he had imagined.

Inside Kuldeel Singh’s show at Ortega y Gasset Projects

Down the hall from Kaths and Farber, Kakyoung Lee creates thoughtful videos of the drawing process that reminded me of the works of William Kentridge. On the opposite side, Barry Rust makes fully functional ukuleles, banjos, and fiddles out of old coffee tins and cigar boxes. Across the wall from Rust, we come full circle with Janice McDonnell’s industrial landscape paintings of the Gowanus Canal. I’m sure it helps that she has a giant window facing it.

Gowanus Open Studios 2017, of which Hyperallergic is a media sponsor, took place October 21 and 22.

NY Mag's list of Reasons to Love New York 2012 caught our eye with a post about Museum, a museum of assorted objects where the only gallery space is in a converted freight elevator.

Their website is filled with knick knacks and odds and ends from the collection.

If you've visited Museum and are hungry for more tiny galleries, don't forget to stop by West 10th Window! Kakyoung Lee's Climbing up is only open for a few more weeks!

Now on View | Art Work: An Exploration of Labor

Love Apple Art Space Opens New Exhibition Space Art Work: An Exploration of Labor Opening Sunday, July 2nd, 2-5pm

The Love Apple Art Space inaugural exhibition, Art Work: An Exploration of Labor, will include painting, sculpture, and video by emerging and mid-career artists whose practices examine a wide range of under-acknowledged forms of work. LAAS's location in a bucolic landscape on an operational farm lends itself to diverse interpretations of work; particularly the kind that is often unseen: motherhood, domestic work, beauty culture, artistic labor, construction work, migrant labor, sanitation, and factory work, among others.

The works in the exhibition are materially fascinating and very beautiful, which allows them to function as a kind of Trojan Horse, with seductive surfaces that captivate the viewer before they can divine the deeper meaning. The art communicates complex ideas visually and successfully crosses barriers; political, socio-economical, and geographical.

Artists in the exhibition include, Andrea Arrubla, Ben Thorp Brown, Noa Charuvi, Wojciech Gilewicz, Frances Goodman, Marisa Morán Jahn, Marie Christine Katz, Kakyoung Lee, Michael Mandiberg, Joiri Minaya, Debra Priestly, Jean Shin, Aram Han Sifuentes, Paul Anthony Smith, Maayan Strauss, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, Rodrigo Valenzuela, and Elizabeth White.

Art-in-Buildings is curated by Jennie Lamensdorf and sponsored by Time Equities Inc. (TEI). TEI is committed to enriching the experience of our properties through Art-in-Buildings, an innovative approach that brings contemporary art by emerging and mid-career artists to non-traditional exhibition spaces in the interest of promoting artists, expanding the audience for art, and creating a more interesting environment for our building occupants, residents, and their guests.

Join Art-in-Buildings for the grand opening of our latest space - Love Apple Farm Art Space!

Love Apple Farm, in partnership with Art-in-Buildings, is pleased to announce its new exhibition space, the Love Apple Art Space (LAAS) located at 1421 Route 9H in Ghent, NY, in Columbia County. The new gallery is located in a classic, late 1800s farm house situated on an 80-acre working apple orchard, Love Apple Farm, in the Hudson River Valley. It is located approximately 15 minutes from the burgeoning art scene in Hudson, NY, and two miles from Art Omi.  Francis Greenburger, founder of Art Omi is the owner of Love Apple Farm, and the creative force behind the new Love Apple Art Space. 

The Love Apple Art Space inaugural exhibition, Art Work: An Exploration of Labor, will include painting, sculpture, and video by emerging and mid-career artists whose practices examine a wide range of under-acknowledged forms of work. LAAS’s location in a bucolic landscape on an operational farm lends itself to diverse interpretations of work; particularly the kind that is often unseen: motherhood, domestic work, beauty culture, artistic labor, construction work, migrant labor, sanitation, and factory work, among others.

“The new Love Apple Art Space gives me an opportunity to bring contemporary art that I and my curator, Jennie Lamensdorf, feel particularly committed to into a non-traditional space and enhance the experience for visitors we’ve already created here on the farm,” says Greenburger. “By installing visual art in our farmhouse, this specially curated creative experience is easily accessible to our visitors, families, and our customers.”

The works in the exhibition are materially fascinating and very beautiful, which allows them to function as a kind of Trojan Horse, with seductive surfaces that captivate the viewer before they can divine the deeper meaning. The art communicates complex ideas visually and successfully crosses barriers; political, socio-economical, and geographical.

Artists in the exhibition include, Andrea Arrubla, Ben Thorp Brown, Noa Charuvi, Wojciech Gilewicz, Frances Goodman, Marisa Morán Jahn, Marie Christine Katz, Kakyoung Lee, Michael Mandiberg, Joiri Minaya, Debra Priestly, Jean Shin, Aram Han Sifuentes, Paul Anthony Smith, Maayan Strauss, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, Rodrigo Valenzuela, and Elizabeth White.

Both artists came to New York as international students and currently live and work between Seoul and New York.

In his quietly timeless video, Empty Space, Buhm Hong pans slowly through virtual rooms based on places the artist has lived over the years.

Lee’s animation, Smoke Series-2, created from 120 unique charcoal drawings, is a meticulous and tender recreation of an underwater volcanic eruption in Hawaii.

Recent exhibition venues include San Diego Art Institute, San Diego, Westport Arts Center, Westport, Kum Ho Art Museum, Seoul, Arco Museum, Seoul and Doosan Gallery, New York.
