Wang Center at Stony Brook University is pleased to present the exhibition, Earth and Sky: Captured Movement by Sook Jin Jo, on view September 9 - December 31 at the Charles B. Wang Center Theatre Gallery with an opening reception on Wednesday, September 9 at 5:00 pm. Korean American artist Sook Jin Jo is a multidisciplinary artist who uses found materials such as wood from discarded furniture that resonates with the indicia of their prior history. Jo’s interconnected themes that include the interplay between space and form, destruction and rebirth, the material and the spiritual, and life and death. Seen from a bird’s eye view, Jo’s site-specific installation Below reveals over two hundred cedar totems - architectural forms appearing as a metropolis far below. The work was initially inspired by Jo’s visit to India in 2005 and was completed 10 years later after a six-month residency in Shanghai, China. Also influenced by her residency in Shanghai, Jo’s new series of Black Sky paintings explores the iconographies of clouds in traditional Chinese painting and was inspired by the contrast and complexity of that great city including the “no sunset” polluted air. The paintings also reference phrases from the Tao Te Ching that Jo learned as a child. In Resurrection II, Jo lines the wall with a collection of discarded drawers taken over time from the streets of New York City. The diversity and configuration of the drawers evokes personal memory. Each drawer seems to have its own private content, filled with its interactions with people over time. Sook Jin Jo has exhibited widely in 30 solo exhibitions internationally including Walter Gropius Master Artist Series, Huntington Museum of Art, Huntington, West Virginia (2011); A Mid-Career Survey of the Work of Sook Jin Jo at Arko Art Center, Seoul (2007) and over 100 group exhibitions, including Lodz Biennale, Lodz, Poland; Gwangju Biennale, Gwangju, Korea; Daegu Art Museum, Daegu, Korea; Seoul Museum of Art, Seoul, Korea; Maier Museum of Art, Lynchburg, Virginia; Smithsonian Institute, Washington D.C.; and National Museum of Contemporary Art, Gwacheon, Korea. Jo’s work is in the collections of Seoul Museum of Art, Seoul, Korea; Erie Museum of Art, Erie, Pennsylvania; Housatonic Museum of Art, Westport, Connecticut; Arko Art Center, Seoul, Korea; National Museum of Contemporary Art, Korea; and The Margulies Collection at the Warehouse, Miami, Florida. |
