One Art Space is proud to present the 8th Annual International Women’s Day in honor of International Women’s Day (#IWD2024oneartspace). International Women’s Day first began in New York City in 1911 and has historically been utilized to call attention to the many hardships and oppressions faced by women throughout the world. The Suffragettes founded International Women’s Day to unite and empower women in their fight for equality and to this day, it continues to inspire individuals to persevere in the face of adversity, celebrate powerful women, and organize direct action to further our progress as a society towards the abolishment of gender inequality.
We support the modern day Suffragettes of the International Women’s Day Campaign in promoting this holiday and their ten core values of justice, dignity, hope, equality, collaboration, tenacity, appreciation, respect, empathy, and forgiveness. This year, we celebrate by presenting an exhibition in honor of the monumental achievements of women throughout history. The International Women’s Day Art Fair features a diverse, international collection of talented, female-identifying artists of varying ages.
If all the falling rain is love, Can it fill the human world entirely?
Of course not.
It can't fill it because love isn't about filling.
And
The world is a sack of desires,
Each trembling with fear,
Clutching it tightly with both hands,
It's desire,
The sparkling desire to shine...
Everyday rain, time to find myself...
If spring rain is a 'leap', autumn rain is 'sentimental'.
I particularly enjoy rain and night.
It's a dazzling space,
A time illuminated by light...
Rain is the ingredient that 'replays' the time of illuminated nights.
I want to create artworks that make people want to go outside and enjoy the rain rather than staying indoors.
작가노트
내리는 비가 모두 사랑이라면
인간세상을 다 채울 수 있을까....
당연히
채울 수 없지 사랑은 채우는게 아니니까
그리고
세상은 욕망의 자루잖아
각자 두려움에 떨며
양손으로 움켜쥐고 있는 바로 그것
욕망이지
반짝반짝 내가 빛나고 싶은 마음....
비 내리는 일상, 나를 찾는 시간....
봄비가'도약' 이라면, 가을비는 '우수'다.
나는 비와 밤을 유독 즐긴다.
빛이 넘치는 화려한 시간 ...
눈부신 공간이다.
불 밝힌 밤의 시간을 '재생' 시킨 재료가 바로 비다.
실내에서 머무르기보다는 밖으로 나가 비를 맞으면서 즐기고 싶게 만드는 작품이고 싶다.
