âIntersectionâ - Korean Cultural Center of Los Angeles by LAUNCH LA
I will be showing three paintings in âIntersectionâ at the Korean Cultural Center of Los Angeles, a juried exhibition by LAUNCHLA.
LAUNCH LA, in partnership with The Korean Cultural Center is proud to present "Intersection", an open call group exhibition at The Korean Cultural Center, 5505 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles from August 17 to August 30, 2018. An opening reception is scheduled for Friday, August 17, 2018 from 6:30-9 PM.
This exhibition brings together artists from across Southern California whose practices engage with identity through components of intersectionality, privilege, choices, culture, chance, or events. It provides the framework for a diverse range of artists to address, confront and/or interpret ideas of personal and collective identity, sexuality, cultural equity, and other life defining moments, conditions or perceptions.
Juror Emily Gonzalez-Jarrett, artist and museum liaison at Honor Fraser, Los Angeles had the challenging task of reviewing 531 works from over 200 artists. After thoughtful consideration of the entries and concept, Gonzalez-Jarrett narrowed the field to 44 works by 23 artists, stating "I am grateful for the introduction to the practices of everyone who made a submission. I was thrilled to see that many artists are representing and working through this tumultuous world."Â
The selected artists are Holly Boruck, Christopher Chinn, Michael Chomick, Karen Clark, Preston Craig, Jorg Dubin, Laura Fisher, Megan Frances, Dwora Fried, Kim Garcia, Steven Hampton, Margaret Hyde, Michele Jaquis, Miriam Kim, David Koeth, Linda Kunik, Shanna Chang Lim, John Junghun Lee, Lynne McDaniel, Kuniko Ruch, Sarah Stone Lindsey Warren, Siru Wen.
LAUNCH LA believes exposure to the arts enhances quality of life and strengthens community through the shared appreciation of creative expression in all its forms and hybrids. LAUNCH LA is passionate about providing artists with quality opportunities to present themselves and their creations that reflect our times to a curious and enthusiastic audience at important happenings throughout Los Angeles.
