TEXTURA: Contextual Art
July 18 - August 16, 2009
Public Reception and Performance • Saturday, July 18th, 2009 (7pm)
The Kilburn Art Space (Korea) is pleased to present TEXTURA: Contextual Art, our first summer exhibition, featuring works that evoke a visual response through texture.
Mud walls, stone base, papered doors, smooth tiles, and patinated wood – the space of a hanok is woven from the individual textures of its structural elements. The composure of a hanok goes beyond its balanced construction, into the realm of every day tactile experience and visual harmony.
This exhibition explores the dynamism of art in conversation with the audience and space of the gallery. The textures of natural fibers, fabric and acrylics on canvas, and the synthesis of text, image and sound, lead to a unique interpretation of contemporary art and traditional aesthetics that are re-contextualized.
The texture of the works in this exhibition are represented by a wide-range of media including intaglio, handmade Korean paper, mixed media on canvas and film by emerging international artists from Macedonia, New York City and Seoul.
