From Goldmark Cultural Center:
“ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
The Goldmark Cultural Center’s Norman Brown Gallery is proud to present “LAST SONG”, a joint exhibition by Laura Hyunjhee Kim and SV Randall.
LAST SONG is a multimedia installation that intertwines the past, present, and future into a cyclical perception-altering timescape, in which constructs of order and continuity no longer apply. From a disorienting assemblage of found object sculptures, to audiovisuals suspended within an endlessly repeating temporal loop, Laura Hyunjhee Kim and SV Randall present an evocative (other)worldy diorama of displacement, where a sense of semblance and linearity has been warped. On the cusp of reanimation, seemingly discordant artifacts conjure and reveal memories and traces of performers from strange spaces between spaces of entanglement, that echo neither-neither.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
LAURA HYUNJHEE KIM is a Korean-American multimedia artist who creates post-disciplinary performances to reveal spaces of hybridity that reimagine on/offline (non)human interactions. Kim has shown work worldwide, recently including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Theatre of Digital Art in Dubai, Kadist Art Foundation, Transfer Gallery, Pioneer Works, Harvest Works, and the Athens Digital Art Festival. Kim received the ArtSlant Award in New Media (2013), New Media Caucus Distinguished Scholar Award (2019), Judson-Morrissey Excellence in New Media Award (2020), and the Black Cube Video Art Award (2020). Kim is the author of “Entering the Blobosphere: A Musing on Blobs” (The Accomplices, 2019) and the co-author of “Remixing Persona” (Open Humanities Press, 2019). Kim is an Assistant Professor of Visual and Performing Arts at The University of Texas at Dallas. She lives in the company of neighboring songbirds, squirrels, and wild rabbits in Richardson, Texas.
