Baxter St is proud to present line/선, the first solo show of interdisciplinary artist Gi (Ginny) Huo, who was in residence at Baxter St earlier this year. Huo’s new immersive installation – their most ambitious to date – draws upon the poetics of observing the unobservable and how lines can evoke unspoken experiences. line/선 questions topics ranging from Korean astronomy and Shamanism to Mormon iconography, all through the lens of their family’s history. Through photography and sculpture, Huo connects both personal and political histories in a visual landscape which includes their writing and poetry.
Incorporating a wide range of material including family photographs, inspiration from Korean archeological maps, and stone sculptures – all thoughtfully arranged around the gallery – Huo’s installation creates a new landscape that explores the spiritual and visual connections between seemingly disparate subjects, places, and eras.
