SQUARED
Featuring Injoo Whang and Caitlin Masley
April 27 to July 28, 2012
Opening Reception: 6 to 10 PM, Friday, April 27
Gallery Reception: 6 to 9 PM, Friday, July 27

Square: The symbol of the square represents structure, balance, and ground. The straight lines connote foundations of earth and buildings. Exhibiting artists Injoo Whang and Caitlin Masley address the symbolic square in their own distinct ways, transforming an existing space into a place. Using illusion and space-defining elements, each artist’s work becomes grounded by the physicality of the space her work occupies. 

Injoo Whang examines the interconnectedness between
the individual and the collective, which is perhaps a result of living in two different cultures: the United States/Western culture often characterized as individualistic, and her native Korean culture, characterized as collective. The work featured in the Squared exhibition includes single patterns cut-out of paper or fabric squares to create drawings and installations, that when gathered together generate a powerful existence as a collective body.

Drawing inspiration from architecture, Caitlin Masley
creates drawings and complex installations that address topographic landscapes and labyrinths. Through layering and subtracting fractions of various structures, her work collectively records the invisible history of where: where we go, where we live, and how we create and erase.  In the Squared exhibition, Masley explores our civilization’s new labyrinths: abandoned cities, developments, and the modern megacity.

IN ADDITION

Gallery visitors of all ages and skill levels will have the chance to participate in hands-on gallery activity and installation in collaboration with Injoo Whang and her work in the Squared exhibition. Participants will be prompted to draw a geometric pattern on a small sheet of square paper, then install the single drawing in a large grid from. The energy of the small pieces will form a collective body of work to create the visual illusion of a whole. The gallery activity will run during gallery hours April 27 to July 28, 2012. .
