Won Ju Lim: in Many Things to Come November 22, 2006

The Academy presents a commissioned work by Won Ju Lim, one of the most impressive artists to emerge within the last 10 years. Born in Gwangju, South Korea in 1968, Lim's works have been exhibited in Austria, Canada, England, Germany, Korea, the Netherlands and the United States. Lim is known for creating evocative architectural forms that are illuminated by projected still and moving images. Her installations use cinematic spectacle and wonder to create animated monuments and haunting landscapes that lead viewers through a journey of colors, shadows and light to ponder themes like fantasy, longing, nostalgia and remembrance. For this commissioned work, Lim has chosen to focus on Hawai!i.
