See & Do - Visual art: Zummarella December 31 2008
Mon., Jan. 5
Lately, Chicago-based artist Min Kim Park has been producing an impressive body of new work wrestling with the trifecta of modern-age concerns: race, gender and identity. In ZUMMARELLA, continuing Mon., JAN. 5, this emerging artist continues to stir the pot at the Emory Visual Arts Gallery. Park’s photography and video installation takes up the idea of the azuma – a term in her native Korean referring to a do-it-all power woman – and blends it with that paragon of silent suffering, Cinderella. Originally trained in journalism, Park includes a healthy dose of material gleaned from her days as a journalist for Korea Daily News and Korean American Broadcasting Company in Chicago. Through Jan. 24. Free. Mon.-Fri., 10 a.m.-4 p.m.; Sat., noon-4 p.m.; and by appointment. Closed through Jan. 4. 700 Peavine Creek Drive. 404-727-6315. visualarts.emory.edu.
