Your Bright Future: 12 Contemporary Artists from Korea

June 28–September 20, 2009

LACMA and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH) will present the first major museum exhibition in the United States to focus on contemporary art from South Korea. The exhibition features work by a generation of artists who have emerged since the mid-1980s—some well-known and others on the brink of recognition—working on the cutting edge of international art trends and within a distinctly Korean context. Featuring site-specific installations as well as video, computer animation, and sculpture, the exhibition represents each artist through a large-scale installation piece or substantial body of work. Curators: Lynn Zelevansky, Contemporary Art, LACMA; Christine Starkman, Curator of Asian Art, MFAH; and Kim Sunjung, Director Samuso, Seoul, South Korea.

Presented by:

This exhibition was organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, in association with SAMUSO: Space for Contemporary Art, Seoul. It is made possible by grants from The Korea Foundation, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc., and the National Endowment for the Arts.

The Los Angeles presentation of Your Bright Future: 12 Contemporary Artists from Korea is made possible by Hanjin Shipping Co., Ltd. Additional support was provided by LACMA's Wallis Annenberg Director's Endowment Fund.

In-kind media support provided by The Korea Times–Hankook Ilbo.

BAD ANIMALS - LONDON

Bad Animals

Anton Goldenstein, Rachel Goodyear, Georgia Hayes, Sharon McPhee, Kim L Pace, Cathie Pilkington, Alli Sharma

18 July - 16 August 2009
Preview Fri 17 July 6-9pm

Gallery open Fri-Sun 12-6pm

Bad animals do unspeakable things. Refusing to be subjugated to our domesticated will and resisting cuteness, the animals on show here are more likely to bite the hand that feeds them. Flaunting their over-sexed bodies, they cause a frisson of unease as watching them we are made to acknowledge the frightful ancestry of our own primordial existence.

This group of artists examine the bad animals phenomenon in a variety of ways from Cathie Pilkington’s promiscuous pranksters, Rachel Goodyear's faux cute drawings and Georgia Hayes' significantly endowed horse to Alli Sharma’s harmlessly ferocious bats. These pets definitely won’t win prizes.

Rachel Goodyear’s drawings present captured moments. Her characters reside within an existence where social etiquette no longer, or maybe never, applied. Many of her characters are seemingly devoid of emotion or stare blankly in resignation. Groups of her drawings suggest connections and these constructed coincidences are delicate in their nature and unsettling in their content. Exhibitions include The converging ends were misaligned (solo exhibition), Houldsworth Gallery, London; They never run, only call (solo exhibition), The International 3, Manchester; Unheimlich, The Nunnery, London; The Intertwining Line, The Cornerhouse, Manchester; The Drawing Room, Tate Liverpool.


Anton Goldenstein. South African-born Goldenstein references art and anthropological history in equal measures in his eclectic work, mixing them with issues of empire, colonialism and a sprinkle of absurdity. Anthropomorphic animals and society’s attitude to them often play a leading role and his Bad Animals piece, inspired by the story of The Trojan Horse by way of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, features a sculpture of one of his reoccurring motifs - the sinister rabbit. Shows include In the Meantime, The Star and Dove, Bristol; Toffee Armistice, Lemon Sky Projects, Miami, Florida; Oriel Mostyn Open, Llandudno, Wales (2006); Bloomberg New Contemporaries (2004)


Georgia Hayes borrows a direct simplicity from the graphic world transforming it into large visceral paintings. She paints from animal snapshots imbibing them with private pleasures, anxiety and fears; focusing on the relationship between the animals being watched by humans and the animals watching us. Recent exhibitions include John Moores 25 (2008) and Seeing the Wood for the Trees, HQ Gallery, Lewes, Sussex. Hayes has exhibited extensively including at The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, East Open and Oriel Mostyn Open.


Sharon McPhee paints animal and human characters in dramas of unfulfilled desire and unsatisfied longing using bold brushstrokes and thick paint. Her characters move in the space of a dark folk tale to explore the dangers of desire and appetite. McPhee graduated from Central St Martins with a BA in Fine Art in 2008 and has exhibited at Contemporary Art Projects and Rollo Contemporary Art in London.


Kim L Pace works with material that explores the edges between fact and fiction - including history and folk tales, literature and anthropology, to create drawings, installations and stop motion animations. For Bad Animals she is showing a series of animations populated by anthropomorphised creatures. In the sinister yet humorous Clone the figure of a human girl undergoes the transformation into a hybrid, bearing a close resemblance to the half-human/ half-fox character doing the remodelling. Another work features a small female cat that appears to lift her skirt in a provocative manner. Recent exhibitions include My Penguin, 39 Gallery, London; MuseumMan Santiago, Chile; Curiouser & Curiouser, McLean County Art Center, USA. Too Much is not Enough, Transition Gallery; Drawing Biennial, The Drawing Room, London; Gymnasium Fellowship show, Berwick-upon-Tweed.


Cathie Pilkington’s sculptural works often combine kitsch found objects with sinister figures. Her use of almost familiar but displaced domestic materials amplify the tableau effect: the scenes are both homely and ‘unheimlich’. At first glance her Bad Animals work depicts cute animals, a second glance reveals that the animals are engaged in unspeakable acts. Recent exhibitions include White Elephant at Marlborough, London and Thy Neighbours Ox 2 at Space Station Sixty-five, London. Her Transition Gallery projects include That’s Entertainment at The Whitstable Biennale (2008) and The Craft (2007), a two-person show with Emma Talbot.


Alli Sharma is drawn to vulgar domestic ornaments remembered from her own childhood. She paints these inconsequential objects with such emphasis on the materiality of the surface that they are transformed into substantial painterly icons. For Bad Animals she has turned her gaze to urban creatures who discreetly share our domestic space. Her series of bat paintings examine the cultural demonisation of a harmless animal that is often irrationally feared. Sharma has a BA Fine Art from Central St Martins School of Art (2007). Recent shows include Awopbopaloobop, Transition Gallery, London (2008); Un-still Life, The Apartment Gallery, London and The Painting Room, Transition Gallery, London (2008).

GERMAN ROCCA - SANTIAGO

Algunas Notas para Infancia de Germán Rocca.
Fernando A Blanco, 2008.
La serie de pinturas Infancia se organiza temáticamente en torno a la experiencia extrema que el artista tienede la infancia en su registro de memoria. En ella el motivo central lo constituyen grupos o personajes aislados que parecen flotar arrancados del mundo exterior e instalados sobre fondos monocromos de pintura industrial que se acercan al espectador para indicarle con gestos mínimos el desamparo provocado por la deriva del recuerdo. Deriva que explicita lo imaginario del acto de recordar y la intensa reconfiguración fictiva que de élhacemos con medios y propósitos variados. Si bien el álbum de familia con todo lo de novela que el psicoanálisis declara está presente en esta reconfiguración de la identidad infantil los recursos provistos por la pintura llevan a la problematización de las narrativas sociales asociadas con el registro de los momentos
memorables de la intimidad para estallarlos con la irrupción de la amenaza de su disolución fuera del espacio protegido del memorario familiar o legal. Ciertamente los espacios privados como el de la infancia alcanzan en el trabajo de Rocca un sentido político al poner el acento en la violencia que los impregna. Una política de la memoria casera que reclama su lugar en los recuentos públicos de la ciudadanía. En la muestra que vemos una segunda línea de lectura se despliega: la mitología familiera de la felicidad hogareña da paso a la disolución de uno de los pilares del novelón chileno. Ni clan, ni tribu, ni “famiglia” resisten la anomia social de su disolución como fuerza cohesiva ante los avances de la producción del capital con el deterioro asociado de las subjetividades y las conciencias. Si ya antes la literatura chilena con las obras de M.Brunet, M.L.Bombal, J. Donoso y D. Eltit, y más contemporáneamente A. Jeftanovic, L. Meruane y N. Fernández, abren fisuras en las narraciones ideales de la familia chilena, explorando estos y otros temas, Rocca junto con Ignacio Gumucio, Alejandra Wolff y el más novel José Pedro Godoy hacen lo propio dentro del sistema de las ArtesVisuales. Expoliación subjetiva femenina producto de los roles de género y los pactos sexuales; oscurecimiento de los mundos infantiles bajo la observancia compulsiva de los adultos o la exploración del deseo como impulso modulador resistente a los sistemas morales contrapulsionales. es, pétreos ,de maderas o un noble corte de paño de alpaca.

Quelques notes pour les enfants Germán Rocca.
Fernando Blanco A, 2008.

Les enfants de la série de tableaux est organisée par thèmes autour de l'extrême l'expérience que les enfants ont tendance artiste dans sa mémoire. Dans le motif central est composé de groupes isolés ou les personnes qui semblent flotter déracinées du monde extérieur et l'installation de la peinture monochrome industrielle fonds qui vont à montrer au spectateur avec un minimum de gestes d'impuissance causé par la dérive de la mémoire. S'ensuit que l'acte explicite de l'imagination et de rappeler l'intense fictiva reconfiguration signifie que élhacemos fins et variés. Alors que l'album familial avec tous les nouveaux Etats que la psychanalyse est présente dans cet enfant l'identité de reconfiguration des ressources fournies par la peinture à la problématisation de la social récits liés à l'enregistrement des moments mémorable intimité d'exploser avec l'arrivée de la menace de dissolution de l'espace protégé à l'extérieur de la famille ou morale Memorario. Certes, les espaces privés tels que la portée des enfants au travail dans un sens politique Rocca d'insister sur la violence qui règne. Une politique d'accueil de la mémoire revendique sa place dans le compte de la citoyenneté. Dans l'échantillon, nous voyons une seconde ligne de lecture est affiché: la mythologie maison de la famille du bonheur mène à la dissolution de l'un des piliers de la chilienne novelón. Ou du clan ou la tribu, ou de "famille" anomie sociale résister à sa dissolution en tant que force de cohésion dans la progression de la production de capitaux associés à la détérioration de la subjectivité et de conscience. Si, avant la littérature chilienne avec les travaux de M. Brunet, MLBombal, J. Donoso, et D. Eltit, et plus contemporain A. Jeftanovic, L. Meruane et N. Fernández, ouvrez les fissures dans le récit de la famille idéale, au Chili, à explorer ces thèmes et d'autres, avec Rocca Ignacio GUMUCIO, Alejandra Wolff, la plupart des nouveaux José Pedro Godoy le faire dans le système de ArtesVisuales. Spoliation subjective produit des femmes des rôles de genre et le sexe pactes, assombrissement de l'univers des enfants en vertu de l'obligation d'exécution de l'adulte ou de l'exploration du désir et l'impulsion du modulateur résistantes moral systèmes contrapulsionales. est la pierre, le bois ou d'un noble de la cour d'alpaga tissu.
