This event has ended.
Installed in ISCP’s project space, Kang’s solo show includes a video installation and photographs encompassing various ways the artist has interacted with her mother over the past several years. The focal point of the installation is Happy Birthday, a work made from a single-channel video embedded in the surface of a low Korean dining table, a gyoja-sang. The video shows clips shot over the last decade of the artist’s mother performing birthday rituals for various family members. Evolving her own sustained collaborative practice, Kyoung eun Kang draws our attention to very specific experiences that are unique and personal to her alone, but speak volumes about the life-affirming behaviors of nurturing and maternity.
This project was selected by 2022 curator-in-residence by Kjersti Solbakken. Solbakken is curator of the Lofoten International Art Festival (LIAF) in Norway in 2024.
Kyoung eun Kang is a New York-based artist born in South Korea. Her work explores geographical and cultural identities, as well as universal human themes such as affection and attachment to raise questions about how we foster and maintain relationships in an ever-changing world.
