Connecting you to the Contemporary Art that makes
a difference in the world

This program will examine the movement of peoples, ideas, and art as a result of three primary contemporary forces: tourism, migration, and exile. In each of these situations the person moving is essentially an outsider who engages with the culture of habitation in a way that is distinctly different than that of the members of the dominant culture.

The tourist comes as an observer to see a different place for a short period of time and the accommodations for tourism focus on the traveler as a source of income.

Migration today can be between countries or within countries, it is a force that pre-dates the existence of borders and is a major cause for the diversification of populations and the enrichment of culture and communities. Migrating peoples bring cultural and social practices, foods and culinary styles, art and ideas that can add immeasurably to the resulting population. Although much of the history of nations involves migrations, the individual or groups migrating today are more often than not seen as a threat or a problem.

Exile is another force that implies both political and social impetus. Whether between nations or within nations, the history of human societies is marked by trails of human movement in response to oppressive conditions. The artist can take the viewer to places and present situations that would otherwise be nearly inaccessible, opening doors and minds to the realities of human movement in contemporary society in all its many forms.

Exhibition

Wind Series
-
8/4 – 22, mf 9am - 5pm, SFAI
8/22 Closing Event, 5-7pm with a Gallery Talk by Nancy Sutor

Exhibition curated by Nancy Sutor. Jungjin's work is not about place, but space. A space that on one hand is directly in front of the lens but on the other, a space more like the space after exhalation but before inhalation, space born of awareness rather than thinking. Jungjin Lee was a resident at the Santa Fe Art Institute during Spring 2007, when she photographed many of the Wind Series images. More(pdf)>
