Kwang-Young Chun: The Soul—Journey to America
Exhibition Reception: December 14, 2008; 3 to 5 pm **
 * December 14, 2008 to May 24, 2009

Noted Korean artist Kwang-Young Chun makes fantastically intricate sculpture out of the recycled pages of old Korean books printed on mulberry paper. He wraps the handmade paper around Styrofoam tetrahedrons and other geometric forms that serve as the basic units of his compositions. The forms are then arranged in free-standing three-dimensional sculptures or mounted on the wall as two-dimensional low-reliefs. The artist will be producing his largest free-standing work to date—over fourteen feet high—for presentation in The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum’s Project Space. // The Soul—Journey to America // will travel to the University of Wyoming Art Museum following its Aldrich Debut.
