“Memories” A Ceramic Exhibition Featuring the Work of Dr. Seong-Heon Kim
Santa Ana, CA, March 11, 2010 — DDR Projects is proud to welcome Dr. Seong-Heon Kim to the new DDR Projects Contemporary Art Gallery at the Art from the Hive Gallery exhibiting his poignant and powerful ceramic work. Show opens Saturday, March 20th, 2010 at 7:00 PM.

Memory is our constant companion; an interpreter that can never be silenced. It continuously reworks our past and in doing so recreates who we are in each fleeting present moment.

Dr. Kim (Seoul, South Korea) has reworked photographic evidence of his own life since childhood in order to visualize this process and question the gaps between evidence recollected and the unending changes worked by memory.

These photo images are printed across thousands of ceramic masks each molded from a segment of his face. This regiment of self-portraits parades the differences possible within the uniformity of a single memory. The aspects of one person on a crowded street or filling a theatre or become a hostile audience. Each scene crosses this inward-looking face as memories may cross the mind: positive images, but also involuntary and inexplicable except by the complex associations invisibly wired into our lives.

In this work the ephemeral image is being made into a permanent thing-translated into the world of the indestructible potsherd which has outlasted civilizations, but which also reflects the dissolution and mutability of human kind. These descriptions of real memory are multiplied beyond any single memory. What do they represent? What is the sum of all these gazes? There is a narrative off a sort: the rich accumulation of images reflects the flickering changes of recollection. Each image is a plausible document, but there is no certainty in these various states of seeing the past, only the fluid psychological flux of oneself.

Please join us for an evening featuring the art of Dr. Seong-Heon Kim.
