Arirang is a typical Korean folksong, known as a an elegy that speaks of the sentiments and life of the everyday people. As the concert’s title indicates, “Flying Arirang” consists of the special stories of two outstanding Korean musicians, Gamin H. Kang and Yejin Kim, a traditional woodwind player and vocalist, respectively, who present repertoires from established traditional pieces set to new music, incorporating an “invented voice” from the musical traditions of other cultures. Both artists wish that the subtle and passionate
Korean tunes and rhythms will resonate in the ears of people from all corners of the world.
During the last three months, Kang and Kim have been working in New York City as Artists-in-Residence, supported by prestigious grants from the Korean government, and have encountered numerous performing artists from all over the world. In particular, Ms Kang and Kim have worked closely with the composer and jazz pianist, Soungwhan Yang, and the jazz bassist Joonsam Lee, both originally from Korea and now residing in New York, who also search for their own unique sounds and forms—Korean music soaked by New York’s cutting edge jazz sounds. All four artists will make unique contributions to the process of creating “new Korean jazz,” for contemporary global audiences who break cultural and ethnic boundaries, and who seek a new voice and beauty for true human interaction and creation.

TENRI CULTURAL INSTITUTE, 43A West 13 Street, in New York City proudly presents
“The Neo Garde:
Huikeun Yoon, Jihyun Jung, Sungran Park, Yoosun Kim, Haein Choi, Hyukjae Kwon,
Sungjung Kim, Hyejin Kim, Jieun Ku, Kyoungje Jang, Daehyuk Yoon”
Show that will run from March 30th – April 23rd, 2011
This show comprised of Ulsan University graduate artists represent freshness of vision and universal hope, but its members also explore future challenges. The title pivots off of the term Avant-Garde, appropriated by art from polemic strategy that used it to refer to a watch guard sent ahead of the troops to scout for the purpose of preventing ensuing attacks. An important leitmotif emerges when looking at the works in this show as a whole; critical content combined with a biting humor.
These artists were chosen out of a great number within the same school, because their work exhibited a sophistication rarely seen in artists this young.
Yoosun Kim dreams of super-heroes. Her mixed media works are created like cutouts that can be used to dress super-heroes or heroines.
Haein Choi appropriates the Northern Renaissance idea of Vanitas to examine notions of beauty by juxtaposing a ceramic doll with a human skull.
Hyukjae Kwon’s paintings engage the viewer’s eye through their interplay between two and three-dimensional depicted space
.
Jieun Ku’s colorful landscapes are topsy-turvy for while the front plane’s elements are round the background, which usually has depth, is flat.
Kyoungje Jang’s wooden sculptures are haptic and reductive in that the subject is cut into the wood.
*Daehyuk Yoon’s oil on canvas paintings intimidate by their content. We see a little girl with pigtails facing the classroom blackboard.
*Huikeun Yoon whose animation of a mouse traversing an artist’s studio and touches not only one’s funny bone but also garners the viewer’s sympathy.
*Sungran Park’s favorite media are conte crayon on paper, for only with this type of material could she attain both the hardness of line and the softness of painting.
*In an immaculate white setting scored by receding lines, Jihyun Jung has created an environment containing human figures going about exercising their various professions.
*Sungjung Kim paints Pop Art subjects that are colorful and funny. Kim’s work entitled Golden White Horse an acrylic on canvas is painted with circular elements that look like metal studs.
*Hyejin Kim deals with Korean contemporary consumerist culture. He depicts young Korean people window-shopping, strolling and stopping to admire a Bottega Veneta store.
*Marked works are presenting in Elga Wimmer Gallery at 526west 26street #310 New York City
