The New Gallery to open 鈥榃ansoo Kim: Table Monsters鈥 exhibit
The New Gallery will present 鈥淲ansoo Kim: Table Monsters鈥 鈥 an exhibition of new works by APSU Art + Design faculty member Wansoo Kim 鈥 from Sept. 27 to Oct. 22.
A reception and gallery talk is scheduled for noon-1:30 p.m. Oct. 7 with a gallery talk at 12:15 p.m. at The New Gallery. The exhibit also will be included during the First Thursday Art Walk from 5-7:30 p.m. Oct. 7, during which Kim will give an artist lecture at 6 p.m. in the Art + Design building, Room 120.
This new series of works, 鈥淭able Monsters,鈥 is an assemblage of recognizable and unidentifiable elements intended to evoke an environment where realism and surrealism coexist. Through both distant interaction with the works and personal closer examination, the viewer鈥檚 accessibility to the space and experience is restricted. By creating this experience for the viewer, Kim proposes to question our perceptions, our beliefs, our ignorance and our awareness.
The exhibit and exhibit events are free and open to the public.
