Art by Jieun Beth Kim. Reception Saturday 5/11, 7-10pm
Conceptual artist Jieun Beth Kim will present a collection of her works in a variety of media, including photography and encaustic.
Setting the mood for her exhibit, she has offered us a poem:
"Bloom and fade,
time passed away.
No movement stays the same,
only flows away.
End hasn't been tasted,
though flesh knows it's there.
Look away, no other way.
Mind ascends, body sheds,
What remains, rise and fall."
Artist Statement:
" As time Passes, I recognize the aging of my body and I know at a certain point my body will fade away." Each day is a day of mourning with Death as my Guide; each moment becomes enlightened."
Artist Bio:
Jieun Beth (b. Texas) was born in the U.S. and lived in twelve different cities, diverse influences motivating her artistic direction. She graduated with her MFA in Studio Art at the University of Texas at Austin in 2013 and received her BFA in Painting at the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2009. She explores the idea of Personal identity and examines the influence of the body, memory and transience of life on the understanding of one’s identity. She is the Exhibit Coordinator at the Austin Central Library.
In 2017, her works have been part of multiple group shows nationally and internationally, including New York City, Austin, and Bulgaria. Her collaborative public art project, "The Dwelling", was fulfilled by the City of Austin’s Culture Alive grant at the Elisabet Ney Museum in Austin, TX and the project was relocated to Colorado Spring, CO in 2018. Her Solo shows were exhibited at the Czong Institute of Contemporary Art in Seoul, South Korea, at the Big Medium in Austin, TX , and Midland Community College in Midland, TX in 2018. Her upcoming shows will be at the Collection Rert in Austin, TX and at the ARTIFACT gallery in New York, NY in 2020.

Collection Rert is having a timeline show!!!
We put out an open call for folks to pick a date from the past, present, or future and to create a piece of art (any medium) connected to their chosen date. Maybe it's an important date from this life or a past life...or perhaps it is a randomly chosen date?
A three-dimensional installation will be created with all of the pieces in chronological order for folks to wander through as they absorb all of these different dates...time traveling without all of the usual hassles.
