Iksong Jin’s In Loving Memory of Innocence
Gallery Hours: Monday thru Friday 10 am to 3 pm
Statement by the artist:
Last winter, I bought some special bottles and other objects at an antique shop in Monticello, upstate New York, and I added hologram technology to complete new works.
The purchased bottles are containers manufactured by CLOROX detergent company, which metaphors the global environment that is contaminated by human convenience and desire.
Last February, I moved the bottles and other objects to my studio in Korea, completing a total of 11 works during March, April and May when the whole world suffered from the CoronaVirus 19. These completed works will be moved again to New York and will be exhibited at Gallery MC, NY from July 14 to July 25 this year.
