 
Pulse
September 9 - October 4, 2002
Gallery Korea is pleased to announce the opening
of Pulse an exhibition of two and three-dimensional
art that in various ways indicates an aesthetic
sensibility derived from the vitality of biomorphic
forms and natural materials. The exhibition will
be on view from September 9 until October 4.
Two artists working with raw materials from nature
explore processes of growth and repetition. Ming
Sun’s abstract compositions are made with
seeds, vines, leaves or stalks. Each is a built
with repeated units spread across a rectangular
colored ground. Gina Telcocci weaves strips of
wood into large organic shapes and in smaller
works builds exotic pods with seeds and beeswax.
The abstract compositions in pastel on small
panels by Son Young evoke magnified views of cellular
life. Here, a combination of amorphous blue and
dark gray grounds, white rectangles and small
patches of color that interact with occasional
black dots creates an oscillating space. The image
appears as if on a screen or viewed through a
lens. Bong Jung Kim assembles a grid of small
blue paintings on cardboard. Each supports a schematized
drawing of a boat made with thin wire that suggests
the contingent stability of watercraft floating
within the inexorable rhythm of the sea.
Pulse is indicative of life as motion and is
expressed in the dynamic continuum of waves. The
rounded plaster shapes made by Elizabeth Mead
resemble waves arrested at the height of their
roll. In contrast, her gnarled bronze “heads”
evoke the persistent process of transformation
in living matter. The elliptical volumes and curved
planes in John Richardson’s sculpture articulate
a relationship between the clarity of geometry
and irregularity of anthropomorphic form. This
exhibition affirms a common vitality in distinctly
hand made art.
