Show Your Face (너 얼굴 보여줘) is an exhibition by artist Yangbin Park, exploring the visual and cultural significance of Hangul, the Korean alphabet, as both a writing system and an image. The title is presented in spread-writing, highlighting Hangul's unique structure and geometric forms.

As part of the Hangul Project Collective, Park investigates Hangul’s historical and artistic evolution, drawing parallels between the script's composition and traditional Korean paper-making techniques like 'Joomchi.' This exhibition emphasizes the enduring connection between Hangul and printing technology, showcasing its potential as a visual and cultural tool in a multicultural society. The work challenges viewers to rethink the visibility and representation of minority scripts like Hangul in predominantly Roman alphabet-centric cultures.

Hangul Project Collective: A Study of Resilience and Identity through Intercultural Visual Dialogues between Korean and Global Influence

Abstract
The Hangul Project Collective is dedicated to the exploration of bilingual and intercultural experiences that engender experiential visual dialogues. Our mission involves the examination of underrepresented visual narratives from diverse intercultural perspectives, utilizing the Hangul alphabet, a typeface derived from Korean consonants and vowels, to create a translingual experience. This multidisciplinary visual research encompasses a wide spectrum of mediums, including typeface design, woodworking, digital art, 3D printing, and game performance. Each of these mediums offers intercultural experiences in a narrative-driven, tactile, interactive, and impressionistic manner. Our principal objective is to introduce innovative approaches to visual storytelling, thereby bridging the divide between traditional and contemporary mediums through the application of cutting-edge technology. In addition, we aim to reflect upon the global significance of Hangul, acknowledging its historical importance as a symbol of resilience during periods of resistance. In today's world, marked by the global prominence of Korean culture, including K-pop and Korean literature, the Hangul Project Collective seeks to showcase the profound nature of this spirit of resistance on a global scale or global exposure too. Furthermore, extending beyond the realm of Hangul, we aspire to contribute to the widespread recognition and support of languages and cultures of various nations facing the threat of extinction due to colonization or other historical factors. Our commitment lies in raising awareness and providing encouragement for these languages and cultures.

Presentation | Mapping Multiculturalism: Conveying Bilingual and Transcontinental Experiences through Experimental Hangul Typography.

Saturday, February 17
11 am-12:30 pm
Hilton Chicago - Lower Level - Salon C-5 (Hybrid)

This project investigates the incorporation of cartography and mapping into the study of bilingual, transcontinental, and multicultural experiences. The primary medium of investigation is the Hangul alphabet, chosen for its unique and adaptable structure that can effectively represent a vast array of linguistic and cultural nuances. Hangul and English alphabet are employed to visualize the complexities of global interactions and the subsequent emergence of new linguistic and cultural terrains.
Mapping serves as a central metaphor in this work. In the same way that cartographers map the contours and complexities of physical landscapes, this endeavor maps the intricate linguistic and cultural networks of bilingual and multicultural experiences. It reveals the overlapping
landscapes of languages, the merging of cultural rivers, and the emergence of new hybrid landscapes in the realm of human expression.
The endeavor utilizes a variety of media, including machine learning, graphic software, and printmaking. The process of analyzing and generating novel typographic forms based on bilingual and multicultural text inputs is aided by generative AI and machine learning. Digital processes are then used to manipulate and refine these shapes. The final results are translated into tangible prints, bringing the digital exploration back to the physical domain and increasing the accessibility and relatability of the project.

Uncovering the postcolonial implications of Yangbin Park's The Cover Story.

This thesis examines the multifaceted work, The Cover Story (2012), by South Korean contemporary artist, Yangbin Park. Park uses various printmaking techniques to create versions of different book covers, removing or obscuring images from the original book covers and using the titles to create layered messages. The resulting work consists of twelve book covers, made to be uniform in size that fit together on the floor or against a wall. Using postcolonial methodology and text and image analysis, this study explores the depth of postcolonial meaning of the book covers and the story Park authored that accompanies them. Park’s use of printmaking and choice of books as his subject facilitate a discussion about the means, institutions, and cultural imperialism involved in the dissemination of information. Issues of erasure, visibility, difference, institutional critique, and hierarchies of information and text are all uncovered in Park’s The Cover Story.

Demo | Joomchi The Art of Transformation - Verifying Tradition through Tangible Proof

Joomchi The Art of Transformation - Verifying Tradition through Tangible Proof

Friday, April 5
3:30-5pm
Rhode Island Convention Center, 5th Floor, Room 552A

In keeping with the theme of the conference, "Verified by Proof," this is a demonstration of Joomchi, an age-old Korean papermaking technique. Through its intricate, labor-intensive production method, Joomchi serves as tangible evidence of the history, craft, and evolution of traditional artistry. It exemplifies the painstaking process of transforming raw mulberry paper into a variety of artistic mediums, providing a rare view into the transformation from simplicity to complexity. This demonstration will highlight Joomchi's adaptability by showcasing its potential for inventive printmaking processes and validating its utility and dynamism in contemporary printmaking. Through the artist’s personal experience with Joomchi, they will demonstrate not only the technique but also its cultural significance, required mastery, and profound impact on the world of printmaking. This demonstration of Joomchi provides physical evidence of the instrument's history, skill, and adaptability.

From October 16 through November 14, 2023, the Wilson Hall Gallery at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) will showcase a solo exhibition featuring the works of artist and printmaker Yangbin Park (b. 1981, South Korea). The exhibition, titled Border(less), displays his drawings, Joomchi (a traditional Korean papermaking technique) installations, and prints.

In 2020, during the height of the pandemic, Park deepened his exploration into the theme of borders, viewing them not solely as geopolitical demarcations but as fluid and imaginative spaces. This exploration was enriched by his study of the history of maps and insights from critical cartography. Park's research into the evolution of world maps over time brought to light the ever-changing nature of borders. His drawing series, Border(less), encapsulates the transient and mutable constructs of these man-made divisions throughout history.

Maps are fundamentally human narratives, offering fictional representations of our worldviews. They encapsulate not just geographic landmarks but also mirror cultural, political, and individual inclinations of their creators. The map-making process, laden with selection, simplification, and generalization, ensures that all maps, to varying degrees, are born from imagination.

His Map of the World series, comprising Joomchi installations and prints, delves into the delicate balance between tangible geographies and their abstract interpretations. Maps, while charting known territories, also navigate the unseen corners of our imagination. They are more than mere depictions of physical landscapes; they encapsulate political, cultural, and social subtleties. Integrating the age-old Joomchi technique into this cartographic narrative accentuates the artistic, imaginative foundation of maps. Joomchi, recognized for its labor-intensive approach, requires a precise fusion of water-soaked mulberry papers. This fusion mirrors how we perceive and depict our world: layered, intricate, and subjective.

Employing Joomchi in map-making is a potent reminder that maps aren't mere objective representations of geographical truths. They are crafted, molded, and imbued with meaning through human intervention. The rich tactile essence of a Joomchi map, with its inherent organic nuances, underscores the idea that our comprehension of the world is crafted, mediated, and in many ways, artisanal.

By harnessing this traditional Korean art form in his map-making, Park amplifies cultural intricacies and narratives. This not only underscores the influence of an artist's cultural milieu on map-making but also stands as a testament to the interpretative, creative, and deeply human essence of charting our world.

Please join us for the gallery opening reception and informal artist talk on Monday, October 16th, from 5 - 6:30 p.m. in the Wilson Hall Gallery. Talk begins at 5:30 p.m.

This event is FREE and open to the public.

Gallery Hours: Monday through Friday, 9am - 5pm.

About the Exhibition
The Woodmere Annual: 80th Juried Exhibition

Migration is the act of moving from one place to another. We move in different ways between man-made borders, physical and ancestral spaces, and our memories.

Jurors Michelle Angela Ortiz and José Ortiz-Pagán invited artists to submit works of visual art that reflect the theme of migration.

Thirty-five artists working in sculpture, video, painting, photography, and collage address topics such as the Great Migration, the experience of Congolese immigrants in Philadelphia, the degradation of the natural world, and the migration of the Arctic tern, whose annual route is longer than that of any other bird. The spectrum of ideas and processes illustrates the intellectual rigor and creative diversity that characterize our city’s art community.

AFTERIMAGE
Curated by Alex Paik
January 7th–February 25th, 2021

This virtual exhibition is loosely based around the idea of the afterimage, the lingering images that one sees after staring at something for too long. The artists in this show deal with the idea of the afterimage both as a visual phenomenon and as a metaphor—thinking about the ways in which the lingering shapes, colors, processes and forms, or the afterimages of personal biographies, cultures, and gentrification affect our vision. Our present and imagined possibilities for the future are colored by the afterimages of our collective and individual histories. As we grapple with the social, cultural, and political systems that have shaped our identities as artists, what will be the afterimages that remain of these systems? How long will these afterimages linger?

Give Me Space

As immigrants, international students, travelers, and dual-citizens participants may have at some point been affected by various changing governmental policies or other restrictions that have impacted their ability to travel within the boundaries of the United States and beyond. These life experiences and faced encounters bring to question our identities and the effects of our surrounding environments.
“In Transit” further looks to be inclusive to working artists that have been constrained by the sensitivities and alarms of being restrained by a visa status that does not allow them to leave the continental upper 48 states or other countries with peace of mind. In effect, restricting numerous artists within our community from physically attending a conference located in Puerto Rico. (A Commonwealth of the U.S. with a history of colonization that celebrates a distinct mixture of Taino, Spanish and African roots.)
In support of a growing international organization and the all-encompassing medium of print, we strive to celebrate and promote diversity in the arts.

Yangbin Park’s artistic endeavor to reflect on a society through the medium of individuals has been led by a social introspection.
Here he unfolds the intersection between individual and society, presenting events that epitomize the elusive link we have within our societies.
By contemplating how a social sphere influences people both at spatial and psychological levels, he presents memories of the events that continue to reverberate through the present, connoting our multi-layered relationship to the society.
Through his introspection of the momentous period symbolized by 1988 Seoul Olympic, Yangbin provides a scopic window, through which our existence vis-à-vis a collective identity, desire vis-à-vis a social aspiration are shone.

Please join us for ahem, a group exhibition of the Tyler School of Art 2013 MFA Candidates.

ETHNOSCAPES is an International photo exhibition investigating issues of (social) de-territorialization, migration, and hybrid identities. With the rapidly expanding forces of globalization, borders appear to be col
lapsing in a whirlwind of new technologies and communication possibilities. In some ways, we are experiencing possibilities of mobility never seen before, though, simultaneously, national bor-ders are increasingly constricted, surveillance intensified, and immigrant rights deflated. Through the diverse lens of 18 international artists, this exhibition ex-amines the ambiguity of living in constant cross-cultural transit, as well as ex-plores the contradictory regimes of (im)mobility and trans-nationality in today’s globalized World.
