exhibition walk through video, link Gallery Press Release ,here residency video,here artist panel discussion, here Inspired by the complex spontaneity of memory, this presentation of monumental soft sculptures, metal drawings-in-space, ink paintings, and soundscape, draws from an imagined archive of histories that traverse the distances of intergenerational time embodied in the meeting between material and space. Approaching the site of exhibition as a volume to sculpt with line, form, and color, Ahn evokes the construction and malleability of an experience of identity and self that is shaped and reshaped by subjective narratives. Exploring these narratives, expressed through dreams, myths, and anecdotes, Ahn materializes the sense of construction living through the human story that ultimately forges a paradoxically visible, and yet evolving, sense of history and memory embodied in our world.
