> DESCRIPTION
Soo Kim will be exhibiting “They Stop Looking at the Sky,” a series of three photographic collages mounted on translucent plexiglass panels on which Kim has densely layered and reconstituted photographic imagery to explore various aesthetic connections between conditions of interiority and exteriority. In these works, Kim reconstructs cities and the interior and exterior spaces of their built environments. The works ultimately transcend specificity of time and place, suggesting completely re-imagined urban environments.

Mary Temple investigates the experiential qualities of specific environments through several bodies of work and multi-disciplinary approaches. In her site-specific installations, light and shadow seem to be cast on walls from nearby windows. However, in actuality, the images are installed in rooms where there is little or no natural light, nor corresponding windows. The artist thus relies on the viewer to complete the architectural intervention by conceptualizing a window and borrowing from past experiences with light in space. Temple is interested in what informs the emotional sensibility of a site, how tenacious and fragile our memory of an environment is, and how an artist might affect conceptual modifications to such physical places.
