Space Rhythm Drawings-Flowers, May 14-June 4

Posted on 26. Apr, 2010 by Editor in Arts, Hotel, LAB Gallery, the LAB

April 26th, 2010 The LAB (for installation + performance art) is pleased to announce ‘Space Rhythm Drawings- Flowers, an installation by Ga Hae Park. This work will consist of 200 cut paper drawings on the floor and walls of the gallery.

Park’s work fuses the raw material of music into visual, emotional and intellectual forms by drawing with cut paper, shaping, and layering positive and negative space, into rhythms. The paper is meticulously cut and composed, opened and closed, with a focus on creating lines that specify coherent patterns of light and shadows on a grid, forming a visual musical structure. In essence, the paper itself becomes the instrument that draws light into musical patterns.

Park has tried to create living forms and images of flowers with cut paper combined with color, sound and light, expressing  inner  rhythms with a feeling. This musical structure-living forms of the flowers, is an abstract and metaphysical realm. Music, by evoking that abstract space, inspires Park to create new spaces through her art. For Space Rhythm Drawings- Flowers, Ga Hae Park will combine Sonatas, BWV 1030 -1035 by Johann Sebastian Bach.

For more information, or to schedule an interview with the artist, please contact Danika Druttman at rogersmitharts@rogersmith.com or 212.339.2092
