Gallery Korea is pleased to announce the opening
of LIGHT, an exhibition of sculptures, objects and
installation that incorporate various effects of
artificial light. The artists explore the way light
influences the perception of space and changes the
character of objects. Ted Victoria has developed
a mechanism that, like the camera obscura, uses
a lens to project an image of an object. Several
of these are combined in boxes and illuminated to
create the illusion of a slow moving photograph.
A New York resident, Victoria has exhibited widely
in North America and Europe.
Byung Wang Cho and Shinyuk Yim are recent arrivals
in New York. Cho builds large installations in
which a red fluorescent line contrasts with a
black background. Under a black light this creates
a pictorial field that flattens the spatial properties
of the installation. Shinyuk Yim engages light
as a source of meditative tranquility. In the
work "Light Gathers in My Closed Eyes",
a bed is customized to contain hundreds of light
bulbs.
California-based Byoung creates complex spaces
using ultraviolet-sensitive paint and ultraviolet
light inside wooden structures. The relation between
interior and exterior space is made ambiguous
and heightens the viewers' awareness of their
own perceptual processes.
