Internationally renowned artist Kimsooja’s videos, performances, and site-specific installations blur the boundaries between aesthetics and transcendent experience through conceptual interventions, meditative practices, and anthropological perspectives. In a public conversation with critic Steven Henry Madoff, the artist will discuss her recent and past works, including "A Needle Woman: Galaxy was a Memory, Earth is a Souvenir" (2014), an iridescent polymer and steel structure standing 46 feet tall, the result of a collaboration with both architect Jaeho Chong and nano scientist Ulrich Wiesner of the Wiesner Nanomaterials Lab at Cornell University under the direction of Stephanie Owens. The event will include Art21’s recently released documentary film on the project, "Kimsooja: Collaboration on Campus—Nanotechnology and Contemporary Art" (2015). Jaeho Chong and Stephanie Owens will offer remarks prior to the conversation.
RSVP is requested.
