Ahn’s work explores genealogies of form and meaning across the creation and reinterpretation of sculpture, performance, drawing, and installation. Inspired by the inherently non-linear origins of our becoming, her structures, surfaces, and boundary-defying constructions think through and reimagine broad art historical and philosophical understandings of site, liveness, and nature, while drawing upon traditions of inner navigation such as dreaming, meditation, and automatic writing. Her practice explores the responsive and transient conditions that shape the human experience of reality, investigating how the physical body encounters landscape and the ways that meaning materializes in time and space. She invites interventions from diverse environmental forces such as the wind, gravity, tension, and memory, to her processes, often resulting in forms that exist with varying degrees of duration or sensitivity. Through the exploration of these immediacies of sensory life, she connects to the role of art to reestablish a sense of open-endedness, inviting reflection around the human desire to make sense of existence under the contemporary, untethered sense of time that defines it — liberating the phenomena of landscape from its entanglements with human perception and asking broadly what natural forces might be, or look like.
Autumn Ahn (b.1986, USA) lives and works in rural Western Massachusetts.
안시의 작업은 조각, 퍼포먼스, 드로잉, 설치 등의 창작과 재해석을 통해 형태와 의미의 계보를 탐구합니다. 우리 생성의 본질적으로 비선형적인 기원에서 영감을 받은 그녀의 구조, 표면 및 경계를 초월하는 구성은 꿈, 명상, 자동 글쓰기와 같은 내면 탐색의 전통을 활용하는 동시에 장소, 생명력 및 자연에 대한 광범위한 예술의 역사적, 철학적 이해를 생각하고 재상상합니다. 그녀의 작업은 현실에 대한 인간의 경험을 형성하는 반응적이고 일시적인 조건을 탐구하고 육체가 풍경을 만나는 방법과 의미가 시간과 공간에서 구체화되는 방식을 조사합니다. 그녀는 바람, 중력, 긴장, 기억과 같은 다양한 환경적 힘의 개입을 자신의 과정에 초대하며, 종종 지속 시간이나 민감도가 다양하게 존재하는 형태를 만들어냅니다. 감각적 삶의 이러한 즉각성에 대한 탐구를 통해 그녀는 예술의 역할에 연결하여 개방성을 재정립하고, 그것을 정의하는 현대적이고 구속받지 않는 시간 감각 하에서 존재를 이해하려는 인간의 욕구에 대한 성찰을 유도합니다. 즉, 풍경 현상을 인간의 인식과 얽매이지 않게 하고 자연의 힘이 무엇인지 또는 어떻게 생겼는지 폭넓게 묻습니다.
