Tracing Movements

In her new video work and eponymous solo exhibition “Willow Drum Oriole,” multimedia artist Suki Seokyeong Kang uses the image of sages interpreting the movements of orioles though trees as a metaphor for the spatiotemporal sensitivity characterizing her practice. Balancing modernity and timelessness, Kang creates sculptural, moving-image, and two-dimensional works—from hanging scrolls of woven fabric to architectural arrangements of thread- covered and painted geometric shapes. In showing more than 130 of Kang’s artworks, curator June Young Kwak creates a space that transcends the historical and the personal, encouraging connections between her pastel compositions in a thought- provoking look at how harmony, tradition, and social discourse inform her practice.
