Mind Set Art Center is pleased to announce the its debut exhibition at Frieze Seoul 2024 with a curatorial presentation titled "Herstory". The show consists of the works of three female artists: Andreea MEDAR, Ana Maria MICU, and Juin SHIEH. Through different mediums and creative techniques, the artists have, each in their own way, crafted unique narratives on the complexity of identity, memories and existence. The art fair will launch with a VIP preview on 4th and 5th September, followed by a public opening from 6th to 7th. We extend a warm welcome to all of you.
The featured women artists interpret their distinctive feminine spaces through the lenses of memory, existence, and the relationship between motherhood and femininity. Juin SHIEH juggles the responsibilities of an artist, scholar, daughter, mother, and wife. She has been exploring for a long time the idea of the female body and philosophy through painting, sketching, mixed media and installation. Two installations of her "Crumpled Memory" series will be on display at the fair. The works consist of the crumpled pages of her draft book –– a record of her ideas and inspirations –– that she has reshaped and lit with LEDs to highlight their rich tones and textures. The mixture of transformation, remake and reconstruction reveals an unseen layer of inner richness and blurs the boundary between sketching and sculpture.
Ana Maria MICU from Romania often closely observes and records her surroundings. Through painting, sketching and animation, she explores the relations between self, people, plants and space. She also projects her care and reflection of the world through her depiction of the light and shadows that surround her plants as they grow and wither. Andreea MEDAR, also from Romania, uses her art to trace the vine of memories and emotions back to her roots. She incorporates lighting and embroidery in her work to recreate the societal and communal traditions of her grandmother's generation. With plastic tubes and fluorescent materials, MEDAR has recreated her grandfather's plants that constantly shine in her "ForeverGarden" series. The waving branches and murky figures illuminate the life and stories of the past and eternally etch their spirits in history.
