Yeo Shih Yun and Paul Campbell, Coney Island Abstract: Continuity/Discontinuity
July 16, 2010 to July 18, 2010
West 21st Street in front of the Childs Building
Coney Island Beach & Boardwalk, Brooklyn
Please note: This is a past exhibit that is no longer installed in the park.
Description:
Yeo Shih Yun and Paul Campbell will work with the public to create a series of large scale canvases. The public is invited to participate in the painting process using roller blades, remote control cars, feet, balls, and balloons.
The artists first met at a conference in Seoul, South Korea in October 2009. Conversations revealed that even though they live in different parts of the world and are separated by differences in culture, language, age, gender, and experience their art practices share a common link. They have both combined the use of traditional art materials with radically unconventional methods of mark making. These unusual approaches to painting simultaneously pay homage to and offer a parody of the works of Jackson Pollock, Yves Kline, and other Abstract Expressionist artists. Their work in turn was informed by the East Asian art of calligraphy and popular writings on Zen and its principles of direct action.
