Spotlight artist Xingyu Huang and curator Yoonshin Park will engage in a conversation on personal experience, space, sound, challenges of communication, and deep time.
.
Xingyu Huang is an artist working and living in Chicago. Based on spatial research and sensory analysis, she uses sculpture, environmental installation, sound, video, and photography to imagine and interrogate the contingencies of interpersonal communication and isolation. Xingyu holds a BFA from University of Edinburgh in Interior Architecture and is an MFA candidate in Sculpture at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
.
Yoonshin Park is an interdisciplinary artist, curator, and educator who works with sculptural papers, artist books, and installations. Park often draws on her experience as a foreign transplant to explore the concept of space and its role in shaping one’s identity, which serves as the inspiration behind her work.

Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, and she is represented by the Zolla/Lieberman Gallery in Chicago.
