Opening reception: Friday, December 7, 6-9 pm

Choi Jeong Hwa’s work as a visual artist and founder of the Gaseum studio blurs the boundaries between art, graphic design, industrial design, and architecture. His work explores issues of accessibility in art and contemporary culture. Choi’s residency at REDCAT from 2007-2008 will culminate in a solo exhibition that will include works by invited artists and craftspeople alongside his own, challenging concepts of individual authorship and original works of art. Playing off the role of South Korea and its neighbors as the origin of the production of disposable consumer goods, Choi’s work interrogates the preciousness of unique objects in a time of mass consumption and reproduction.
