Song E Yoon Solo exhibition <Deviant sublime>
Song E Yoon (1983~) is a contemporary artist based in New York. Her upcoming solo exhibition, "Deviant Sublime," in Venice 2024, will feature installation works and paintings accompanied by background music from the 17th century, specifically Gregorio Allegri's 'Miserere mei, Deus.'
The artwork consists of two main triangles, with one side of each triangle appearing as a shadow that distorts or vanishes depending on light intensity or viewing angle. This triangular form, at times resembling a religious cross, symbolizes life's journey, embodying the tension and balance between past, present, and future. While representing sacredness and spiritual forces such as birth and vitality, it also conveys negative aspects like death, anxiety, and guilt. Yoon explores the profound symbolism of this intentional figure, reflecting on the sublime it evokes and the conflicting emotions within us.
Originally from Busan, South Korea, Yoon earned bachelor's and master's degrees from Pusan National University's Fine Art Department. She gained recognition as a regionally representative artist in a network of art exhibitions supported by the National Culture and Arts Support System and ARKO MUSEUM (ARKO) in 2011. Yoon has exhibited her work at major art museums across Korea and relocated to New York in 2013. She has held solo exhibitions at New York Minded Gallery and collaborated with ART NYC in 2022. Additionally, Yoon developed the theory of 'Intangible Art,' explored in her master's thesis titled 'A Study on the Invisible Dimension through the Media,' published by Busan National University Press.
Song E Yoon (1983~) è un artista contemporaneo con sede a New York. La sua prossima mostra personale, "Deviant Sublime", alla Venezia 2024, presenterà opere di installazione e dipinti accompagnati da musica di fondo del XVII secolo, in particolare "Miserere Mei, Deus" di Gregorio Allegri.
L'opera è composta da due triangoli principali, con un lato di ogni triangolo che appare come un'ombra che distorce o scompare a seconda dell'intensità della luce o dell'angolo di visualizzazione. Questa forma triangolare, a volte simile a una croce religiosa, simboleggia il cammino della vita, incarnando la tensione e l'equilibrio tra passato, presente e futuro. Mentre rappresenta sacralità e forze spirituali come la nascita e la vitalità, trasmette anche aspetti negativi come la morte, l'ansia e la colpa. Yoon esplora il profondo simbolismo di questa figura intenzionale, riflettendo sul sublime che evoca e sulle emozioni in conflitto in noi.
Originario di Busan, Corea del Sud, Yoon ha conseguito la laurea di bachelor e master presso il Dipartimento di Belle Arti dell'Università Nazionale di Pusan. Ha ottenuto il riconoscimento come artista regionale in una rete di mostre d'arte supportate dal National Culture and Arts Support System e ARKO MUSEUM (ARKO) nel 2011. Yoon ha esposto le sue opere nei principali musei d'arte in Corea e si è trasferita a New York nel 2013. Ha tenuto mostre personali alla New York Minded Gallery e collabora con ART NYC nel 2022. Inoltre Yoon ha sviluppato la teoria dell'arte immateriale, esplorata nella sua tesi di master intitolata "Un studio sulla dimensione invisibile attraverso i media", pubblicata dalla Busan National University Press.
