Name: Jeong Geumhyung
Media: Installations of mixed media
Themes of their work:
explores the potential of human physicality, confronting anxieties and stereotypes regarding sexuality, the female body and artificial intelligence.
How does this artist relate to my practice? The use of objects and anthropomorphic elements in unusual settings - found objects - the installations are a way to present her work
1. JEONG GEUMHYUNG
Born 1980 Seoul, South Korea
Lives and works in Seoul, South Korea
Jeong Geumhyung is a dancer and choreographer whose practice began in the theatre and has recently extended to encompass installation. Her performances, which she describes as ‘duets’, feature the artist confronting monstrous ‘body-machines’. Jeong builds these by adapting various objects, from medical equipment and domestic technology, to take on human form. She sets up tense encounters suggestive of prosthesis, sexuality and agency, and the industries constructed around them. Recently she has begun to exhibit collections of her performance objects — which she refers to as her ‘collaborators’ — by arranging them on plinths under strip lighting like clinical specimens. Fitness equipment, party supplies, mannequins and medical apparatus are imbued with a bizarre anthropomorphic element and organised by unusual categories. Through her compelling performances and installations, Jeong explores the potential of human physicality, confronting anxieties and stereotypes regarding sexuality, the female body and artificial intelligence.
2. PANNAPHAN YODMANEE
Born 1988 Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand
Lives and works in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand
Pannaphan Yodmanee was trained in traditional Buddhist painting from a young age. She now draws on Buddhist cosmology to create site-specific installations that resemble modern ruins or demolition sites. She constructs these using slabs of demolished concrete, exposed iron structures and walls primed with concrete and rocks. These raw elements are delicately painted with scenes depicting historical events in South-East Asia, including conquests, battles and journeys across land and sea. She uses gold leaf and the vivid blues associated with Thai Buddhist art, and also creates her own Buddhist objects and icons, which are dispersed throughout the installation like secrets waiting to be discovered. Yodmanee is particularly interested in the role that faith and religion have in our lives, and their capacity to foster peace and happiness, but also destruction, conflict and violence.
Relates to my work:
Secrets waiting to be discovered in the work, destruction, conlfict and violence relate to my work - eg Dog Tribe vs Poogies. the installation, objects and icons
3. SOULIYA PHOUMIVONG
Born 1983 Ban Kokxay, Laos
Lives and works in Ban Kokxay, Laos
Animator and new-media artist Souliya Phoumivong initially trained as a painter and was a member of the first artist-run space in Laos. His practice underwent a radical shift in 2010 following a residency in Tokyo, and his works now encompass photography, video and claymation. He established the Clay House Studio in 2012 and was subsequently approached to create the first children’s television series in Laos, My Village, which ran for several seasons. As his practice has developed, Phoumivong’s studio and set designs have become more sophisticated, but he continues to retain a hand-made quality in productions. His recent video and installation works imaginatively combine filmed footage, stop-motion animation, and models made from locally sourced clay. He also teaches and mentors younger artists in film and animation.
Relates to my work: creating a children's series - installations of hand made sets and scenes. Clay and use of film and stop motion is of interest although I have not yet combined this aspect in my work.

This exhibition relates to my practice with the use of assemblage and the object - I will research the artists to see what they are up to now.

Mikala Dwyer: Earthcraft
Earthcraft is a work by Australian artist Mikala Dwyer commissioned for the Len Lye Centre’s East Ramp. Dwyer works across installation, sculpture and performance to explore notions of time, space and reality, drawing ideas from science, architecture and the occult.
The title is from an Old English word for geometry (eorðcræft). In Earthcraft we are invited to make our way along the ramp through many objects and diversions, heightening our awareness of both the objects and the interior architecture. Incorporating readymade objects and industrial materials with the handmade and organic, each piece functions as part of a larger narrative. Dwyer trusts our intuition and ability to build associations and affinities. Through a synthesis of geometric forms, materials and symbols, Earthcraft provides clues but remains elusive, suggesting a story rooted in both reality and fiction.

Dwyer's work is very interesting, as a contemporary installation that was commissioned it shares the themes of kinetic and art that moves which complements Len Lye's work which features as a permanent collection in the gallery. It would be good to find out if that artist has featured work in a gallery that is more accessible to someone like myself who is living in Invercargill. Her work shares my interest in the ready made object and the handmade - one to follow.

Although Mikala Dwyer’s work includes painting, performance, sound,
and video, it exhibits a particular affinity with what art historian Alex
Pots calls ‘the sculptural imagination’. For Pots, this term encompasses
the shifting concepts and manifestations of sculptural modernity
that are underwritten by an ongoing concern with the experience of
viewing three-dimensional objects or presences.1 Various speculative
possibilities radiate from this deceptively simple proposition. Making
sculpture raises questions about the psychic and social dimensions
of subject–object relations and proposes different models of space,
embodiment, and vision. Dwyer’s art broaches these questions,
repeatedly intermingling forms, materials, and objects that symbolize
the sacred, childhood, and the ‘primitive’ with those that suggest the
art and thought of secular modernity. Such unsettling of ontological
boundaries and distinctions comprises the organizing principle of her
practice.

Works have featured in her cv since 1982 and has exhibited regularly since then with current exhibitions in 2019. I was quite excited to find this artist and I am not sure why I had not heard of her before. Since the artist is internationally represented her work could well show up in southern gallery one day.
