Univeristy of Kentucky's First Visiting Curator In Virtual Residence
Exhibition Calendar
Jan 31 - Apr 01 : Bryn Oh : Condos in Heaven
Please follow these instructions for configuring your viewer before visiting.
Bryn Oh's works are artifacts from an alternate future, an apocalyptic universe where desperate mothers upload their dying children into cyborg bodies only to be beset by righteous mobs, children's rhymes warn against impending robot attack and tiny gear-driven insects engage in the ancient and universal struggle to survive. Superficially the story ought to be familiar to anyone who has so much as glanced at a work of speculative fiction, a cautionary tale in a dystopian setting. But Bryn and her work are never what they seem. The surface is worth seeing, but a closer look rewards the curious and the patient.

Nov 15 - Jan 01 : AM Radio : Beneath the Tree that Died
AM's works are as beautiful and detailed as paintings, but they are nothing like static images. The artist often continues to work on a piece long after it is "finished," re-juxtaposing elements of previous works, subtly altering details, changing the weather, all in a way which unfolds as a story over time. Repetition of objects serves (as in any mythology) to underscore the important. Over time symbols emerge as markers for other stories real and imagined. A train evokes a sense of time, a lost telegram a fragment of history, a table the promise of a scene that was (or might be). Taken collectively, the body of AM's work becomes as much performance as anything else.
