The AHL Artist Foundation that Shin is involved in hosts regular studio visits with artists. The next one is coming up this Thursday March 5th at the artist Chong Gon Byun's studio in Brooklyn. For times, directions, and RSVP details please click on the image of the flyer below.
Chong Gon Byun is a Korean artist whose work examines the irony of contemporary culture. The work pictured here is titled I-pod- 2, 2005. Using an old champagne bottle, paint, headphones, and string he mixes a variety of cultural objects to point out the oftentimes surreal mixture of influences that make up our lives. The studio visit should be a great opportunity to observe his process and talk to the artist. His work is in the collections of the Korean National Museum of Contemporary Art (Seoul), the Indianapolis Museum of Art (Indianapolis), the Cleveland Museum of Art (Cleveland) to name a few.
The AHL Foundation is a non profit organization established to support cultural and artistic events with the purpose of building a wider public awareness of the contributions of Korean-American artists to contemporary art.
