Ahata Anahata, Manifest Unmanifest VIII

책 소개

On Jung Hee Choi Ahata Anahata Manifest Unmanifest IV La Monte Young Marian Zazeela Jung Hee Choi is a rare phenomenon. Today, she is one of very few artists creating art of an extraordinary transcendent beauty and virtuosic organic technique that is one with the subject itself. We can see interrelationships from early Taoist paintings and calligraphy through Hokusai paintings of Mount Fuji, on through the works of Kazimir Malevich, Josef Albers, Georgia O’Keeffe, Ad Reinhardt, Mark Rothko, Jasper Johns, Walter DeMaria, to Marian Zazeela and Jung Hee Choi. As our senior disciple in music and art, Jung Hee is not only mastering, teaching and performing the line of the ancient Kirana tradition handed down by our guru Pandit Pran Nath in order to carry it on into the next generation, she is also expanding the tradition of sound, light and calligraphy of our own work with an original flowering that may emerge and eventually be recognized as the most imaginative statement of the next generation. It is remarkable that she has been able to absorb and articulate the techniques and formalities of the depth of La Monte’s work in musical composition as well as Marian’s work in the genres of graphite on black drawings, curvilinear form and colored light phenomena, and to be able to create completely original new works that demonstrate the highest levels of artistic achievement. After hearing Jung Hee sing Raga with The Just Alap Raga Ensemble and upon experiencing her video, sound, drawing installation at the 2008 Asian Contemporary Art Fair New York, composer Terry Riley, the co-founder of musical minimalism and disciple of Pandit Pran Nath, conferred upon Jung Hee the title “Jewel of Kirana”. In India the word disciple applies to those who undertake the study of an infinite body of esoteric knowledge that may require lifetimes to master. Imagine Buddhist saddhus (spiritual seekers) who meditate for countless lifetimes to perfect their beings. Pandit Pran Nath always said Indian classical raga singing requires three lifetimes to master. One hundred years with the guru, one hundred years of practice, and then you can sing for one hundred years. It is with this sense of commitment that Jung Hee Choi approaches her every endeavor. Here is an emerging polymath who achieves the combination of beauty and technique of a Michelangelo. As curators of Jung Hee’s exhibition, we are extremely pleased to present the work of this master of many genres in our Dream House space: installations, raga singing, music composition, drawing, calligraphy, and the never before seen or imagined needle point drawings on black wrap illuminated with imperceptibly changing colored light from video projections that are perceived as filigreed arabesques reminiscent of elaborate silk brocade patterns suspended in illuminated darkness like stars from a distant galaxy. Our Dream House space, which at all other times houses the environment from which much of her work was inspired, now provides an atmosphere that will allow her work to develop to a new level of creative imagination and to the infinite evolution of dreams. About the Light Point Drawings (previously titled Needlepoint Drawings) With the application of her drawing techniques to a new, self-invented medium, that of inscribing with pinholes on black wrap, and with the utilization of video-projected colored light not on the drawing but, as it were, through the drawing, Jung Hee has created a profoundly engrossing body of work in these installations. Although these works can be described and even photographed, they must ultimately be experienced by the viewer in order to fully incorporate the element of time, which has now become an even more central and intrinsic aspect of these works. The varying colored light from pre-recorded videos projected through her needle point patterns continually delineates an ever-changing array, displaying facets of the curvilinear cosmos she has portrayed with en…
