Please join us for a Closing Reception and Artist Talk on Tuesday, November 9th, from 4:30pm - 7pm, featuring our UAH Contemporary Art Fellow Sun Young Kang. Artist Talk will begin at 6pm in Wilson Hall 168. Reception will be held in the Wilson Hall Theatre Lobby.

Sun Young Kang is a book and installation artist whose practice uses ephemeral materials such as paper and light, mediums known for both strength and delicacy, to explore how antithetical ideas inevitably converge in our existence. Concerned with the philosophical ways in which absence coexists with presence, Kang’s works employ elements such as shadows and vessels and the processes of casting and cutting, all of which rely on the paradoxical interplay of what is there and what is not.  As the 2021 UAH Contemporary Art Fellow, Kang has created the installation In Between Presence and Absence, currently on display in the Wilson Hall Gallery, where, among hundreds of hollow paper-cast containers, emptiness—conventionally unsubstantial in art—unexpectedly achieves both visibility and weight.
