Kim Yoon Hee
from Culturia web site
Cristina Meloni:
"Intimacy and irony, with these two words I could describe my artistic
research. Since many years I’ve been exploring my physicality in
relation with objects and the idea of the fetishism of an interior
experience. An unusual map in a familiar territory which is never fully
known. I use different media from performance and installation to
sculpture, video, painting and photography to show aspects of the
private sphere but always with decency, even when revealing indiscrete
nudity. A mise en scène of the results of an intimate and almost ritual
investigation which reveal unconfessed aspects of the psychology of the
inner self. The inventory of my body is transformed into an
ironic adventure."
Kim Yoon Hee :
"Begin with the arbitrary relationship
between ‘sifnifiant’(image, sound) and ‘signified’(meaning) in
linguistic, I got interested in letters as images – which does not
convey the meaning. So I took it as mare of material attempting to
explore the relationship between reading and seeing in the context of
art. And it led me to think about the positions in art – object, artist,
and viewer ,paralleled with the one in language – text, writer and
reader.
Applying arbitrary system to transform one text into other forms (which you can see from the image above, ’a possible scope’ 2012 – the music notation for the musical box came from each alphabets in several poems) is a way of extending possible ways of seeing and taking it in different conditions with different effects on(or by) viewers."
Elena Chronopoulou :
"Traces of the past, as translated through the gestural acts of
inscribing and extracting physical elements, are the focus of my
interest. Seeking for ways to recreate conditions that are no longer
visible, or decipher remains of specific events, I am interested in
working with the materials already present in a given space: the process
of their removal or de-construction, creates an imprint of their former
context. Visibility-Invisibility, Superficiality-Depth, are dipoles
present in the sites of re/de/construction."
