Diamond Life
Jillian Conrad (Houston, TX)
Moo Kwon Han (New York, NY)
Curated by Kurt Mueller (Houston, TX)
Jillian Conrad and Moo Kwon Han create idealized spaces, fictive structures of time and place through which we are invited to reconsider on our relationship to the real. The effect of their constructions, however, is equally refraction. Poetic dreams are realized as hopeful Chroma-key videos and imagined landscapes manifest as dazzling sculptural installations. The artifice of these mediated views is purposely apparent; lofty reaches are made tangible by humor and humble means. Conrad and Moo Kwon’s works pull from natural science, but repurpose its phenomena lyrically, as narratives of discovery and forms of accretion—metaphors for the creative process. Drawings are sculpted, calligraphic poems are performed, and the world is revealed as a multi-faceted prospect: still-forming.
