Hello all, I’ll be teaching the Optics Series at Lista Studios on March 7 & 14 and April 18 & 25 ! @lista_studios Over four sessions, we’ll work with transparent and translucent materials found in everyday life, exploring their optical qualities through light and layering. Together, we’ll discover how ordinary materials can shift into sculptural and luminous forms. 🤍 Ask me anything if you’d like more details about the class ! Sign up link is in my bio 💌

“You can touch something that can’t be held. It can be time, it can be concepts, it can be pain.” —Shaping Of [ what escapes perception ] with Jungeun Park @enna0j Jungeun’s glass collection, what escapes perception, presented at nodes:ii, April 11 & 12 at @onassis.onx . Our Shaping Of interview series goes inside the artifact — how it’s made, what it holds, what escapes. Full video + editorial review on our Substack [ ENTER ] in the link in bio. Jungeun’s world looks into the crevices tucked away from everyday perception. She explores the banality of ephemeral moments — things we overlook, or tend to look away from in discomfort — inviting viewers to feel the sensations, and the care, that come from deep observation. Her work is a ritualistic process of translating and digesting that which is ephemeral, metaphysical, material, and eternal. nodes:ii featured a living archive of creative science sculpture, bio-art, sound, and interactive media, the program offers a rare look inside two experiments — WHITEBOX (the Lab) and BLACKBOX (the Stage) — with unreleased works and prototypes throughout. —— [ ENTER ] now has a paid subscription with a free tier still available. Supporting Artifice NYC means supporting the work — the research, the room, the people in it. Subscribe in the link in bio. Interview by @woo.yeon.kim Video by @effyinyadr3am Audio Editor @kendeng__

360,000 umbilical cords were cut today. A deer has been struck by a car and met its demise. What emerges from our hands never leaves the body. Everything we create repeatedly translates its vulnerability. Our work addresses bodies in the aftermath of events: bodies that exist after irreversible change, after conditions have already been ‘decided’. This exhibition lingers with the irreversible. It attends to bodies that are passed over and brushed aside, to lives that were never fully acknowledged as worthy of care; it remains as a state of being.  How we differentiate between bodies, deciding which deserve attention and which do not, ultimately mirrors how we evaluate and treat ourselves.  An abandoned helmet grew skin and gestated life. Glass and ceramic salvaged bodies from decay. Lanternflies crushed to death rebirthed into steel. Aftermath opens this Friday, 1/23 6-9 pm Curated by Jungeun Park (@enna0j ) Works by: Jungeun Park (@enna0j ) Carrie Kouts (@impossiblyinteresting ) Nahom Ghebredngl (@nahom.ghebredngl ) Maha Mohan (@maha.mohan ) Special thanks to: Alexandra Reintjes (@artandtheoryspam ) for writing support Hyein Shin (@shlnhyeln ) for the Korean curatorial statement Poster by Dohee Kim @doheeikm

박정은 작가는 우리가 쉽게 지나치는 것들, 혹은 아예 바라보지 않으려 했던 것들에서 출발한다. 그녀에게 작업은 그 불편함을 외면하지 않고 찬찬히 들여다보는 연습에 가깝다. 처음엔 낯설고 거부감이 드는 오브제들— 깨진 유리, 매끈함과 흠집이 공존하는 표면, 형태가 완전히 정의되지 않은 조형들. 하지만 가까이 다가서면, 그 안에서 생명성이 흔들리는 미묘한 긴장감을 발견하게 된다. 정은은 그 순간을 중요하게 여긴다. 거부감과 매혹이 동시에 일어나는 찰나, 시선이 멈추고, 감정이 되묻고, 생각이 열리는 그 ‘대면의 시간’. 그녀는 재료가 가진 불완전함을 숨기지 않는다. 유리는 쉽게 깨지고, 도자는 갈라지고, 재봉된 천은 바느질 흔적을 남긴다. 정은은 이 재료들의 약함과 틈을 있는 그대로 받아들이며, 불완전한 존재가 갖는 생명력을 작품 안에 새긴다. 이 과정은 결국 일상의 사소한 장면— 버려진 물건, 방치된 오브제, 무심히 지나쳐온 풍경— 그 속에 숨어 있던 질문들을 다시 집어 올리는 일이다. 관람자가 작품 앞에서 멈춰 서는 일, 그 멈춤 속에서 불편함이 호기심으로, 호기심이 연민과 공감으로 바뀌는 순간을 정은은 가장 소중하게 여긴다. 결국 그녀가 말하고자 하는 것은 우리가 살아가는 세계는 완벽하지 않고, 그 불완전함 속에서 비로소 새로운 시선과 가능성이 열린다는 것이다. 박정은의 작업은 우리에게 조용히 권한다. 스쳐 지나간 것들을 다시 한 번 바라보라고. 불편함을 밀어내지 말고, 그 자리에서 잠시 멈춰보라고. 그 찰나의 대면이 우리의 시야를 조금 더 넓게 만들지도 모른다고. ✏️ @enna0j #apex #작가 #인터뷰
