About the Item

About Ha Young KIM’s Work While internet and post-internet theory tends towards locating the screen as the point of intermediation between cyberspace and the subject's position at the computer/device, little is said about the face as a point between one conceptual space and the other. In Kim’s work it is precisely the face that is given attention as representative of an element of the non-virtual that is not included into the virtual identity. … Kim tells of her misidentification with her own face after spending too much time online, the sense of being brain-dead expressed by the part of the body which had once done most expressive work. Kim gives us a portrait of contemporary society as numb-faced, in which our existence is a fragmented one, not human, not machine and not cyborg, if the cyborg has traditionally been theorised as a harmonious singular entity. If the face can unlock a wealth of pre-existing personality and individual identity, then the stem cells – associated with self-renewal and transformation – might be seen to represent the potential to develop new identity, in any form.

  • Invisible Women 3 "Gris"
    Located in New York, NY
    Angels Grau is a Catalan artist who spends her time between Barcelona, New York, and a small village located in the breathtaking Priorat, one of the most notorious wine regions in Europe. This combination allows her to have the best of three worlds; it brings together the creativity and passion that her paintings demand. "I invest time in my work. You must look at paintings on different days, with different eyes. There is a need to go back to it again and again.” Born to a family of artists, she grew up surrounded by drawings, tapestries, and paintings that awakened a special sentiment that over time matured into her work. A graphic designer first and painter by evolution, in 2018 she decided to make the leap into becoming a full-time artist. Nothing has deterred her since. After traveling the world and bringing up four children who are almost living their own lives, the artist feels the need to empower the role of women inspired by her own journey. “Invisible Women” is a tribute to each and every woman that fights from anonymous positions, in everyday jobs and everyday lives, to improve their family, their society, their world. Some of her pieces are part of the personal art collections of different CEOs of fortune 100 companies. “Invisible Women” is part of a recent purchase...
