Growth: Dan Lam, Jaz Harold, Yunjung Kang

On view 4.6.2017 - 5.15.2017 

Opening Reception 4.6.2017, 6-8pm

usagiと_newyork is pleased to announce Growth, a three-person exhibition inspired by twentieth century philosopher Henry Bergson’s concept of creative evolution. In an inverse of Bergson’s teleological notion of evolution, Growth investigates the ways repetition, rhythm, and unpredictability of material drive artistic creativity.  

Exhibiting artists are Dan Lam, Jaz Harold, and Yunjung Kang  ー three artists whose work is informed by organic forms and physicality of the human body. Initially non-threatening and inviting to touch, their work explores the themes of dualities of attraction/repulsion, nature/artifice, grotesque, perception of beauty, and sexuality.
