SMU's Pollock Gallery to present “Jin-Me Yoon: Extended Temporalities,” March 7-29, 2014
The Pollock Gallery of the Division of Art at SMU’s Meadows School of the Arts will present “Jin-me Yoon: Extended Temporalities,” March 7-29, 2014.
The exhibition showcases time-based works by Vancouver-based artist Jin-me Yoon. Part of an ongoing series of performative works for the video camera that document the artist as she executes lateral explorations through sites that are charged with historical significance, the works illuminate how Yoon’s physical actions invoke submerged histories of trauma, forge a relationship between past and present and employ the body in the creation of ephemeral acts of commemoration.
A program and reception will be held March 20 at 7 p.m.
The Pollock Gallery is located on the first floor of the Hughes-Trigg Student Center, 3140 Dyer St. on the 91ƬSϼ campus in Dallas. Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and 1-5 p.m. Saturday. Admission is free. For more information, call 214-768-4439 or visit .
