The Goldmark Cultural Center’s Norman Brown Gallery is proud to present “LAST SONG”, a joint exhibition by Laura Hyunjhee Kim and SV Randall.
The exhibition is on display from 14 April 2023 to 19 May 2023, with an opening reception from 3pm - 5pm on Saturday, 22 April 2023, during the Spring Art Walk.
About the Exhibition
LAST SONG is a multimedia installation that intertwines the past, present, and future into a cyclical perception-altering timescape, in which constructs of order and continuity no longer apply. From a disorienting assemblage of found object sculptures, to audiovisuals suspended within an endlessly repeating temporal loop, Laura Hyunjhee Kim and SV Randall present an evocative (other)worldy diorama of displacement, where a sense of semblance and linearity has been warped. On the cusp of reanimation, seemingly discordant artifacts conjure and reveal memories and traces of performers from strange spaces between spaces of entanglement, that echo neither-neither.
About the Artists

Kim received the ArtSlant Award in New Media (2013), New Media Caucus Distinguished Scholar Award (2019), Judson-Morrissey Excellence in New Media Award (2020), and the Black Cube Video Art Award (2020).
