Jisoo Chung: Deliberate Marking, Oblivious to Itself, But to Sing, to Sing, Very Softly at Riviera Parking
March 27 - 28, 2021
Open 12-6 pm by appointment only
Riviera Parking presents Deliberate Marking, Oblivious to Itself, But to Sing, to Sing, Very Softly, an exhibition by Los Angeles based artist Jisoo Chung.
”The video, Deliberate Marking, Oblivious to Itself, But to Sing, to Sing, Very Softly, contemplates the artist’s bodily presence in the current place and time she finds herself in…The experience of being confined to a room or the same domestic space day after day instigates a sensitivity at a micro level as demonstrated by the artist’s lens as it zooms in and along the surface of her skin. Drawing a map of Los Angeles across her body the video tracks her mark-making with a microscope camera.
Under the circumstances of a global pandemic, political turmoil, racial violence, and immigration processes, these seemingly colossal and uncontrollable forces nonetheless leave their impact on the body. The artist finds herself reflecting on these forces just as she tries to locate herself within the geography of Los Angeles and the United States.”
