Eunkang Koh’s Printstallation Invasion combines printmaking, soft sculpture and installation, focusing on social phenomena in our contemporary consumerist society. As lifestyle and thinking processes are ruled by money and capitalism, society’s goals are to become richer and wealthier so that we can consume even more. Consumption, driven by endless desires, triggers an identity crisis. Koh creates animal-human hybrids through which she expresses the absurdity of our world. Her ironic creatures portray a mixture of humor and grotesqueness, reflecting life in our consumerist society.

This exciting exhibition includes work from three contemporary Korean Printmakers: Hyeyoung Shin, Sang-Mi Yoo and Yoonmi Nam, with each artist exploring the printmaking process in a unique and refreshing way.  

More than 30 quilts and wall hangings illustrate how Kentucky quiltmakers looked to both the past and to the future for inspiration. In the first part of the 20th century, Americans' interest in their Colonial heritage contributed to a revival in quiltmaking, yet modern trends such as Art Nouveau and Art Deco also brought a contemporary feel to the work of some quilters and pattern designers.  The revival that began around the time of the U.S. Bicentennial also had a dual effect with some quilters choosing traditional methods while others began experimenting with modern fabrics, techniques, and motifs.  This divergence in approaches continued into the 21st century.

These quilts were selected from the Kentucky Museum's nationally significant collection.

This gallery will be closed to the public April 12-14.

In 2004, when the Kentucky Museum began to host the USBank Celebration of the Arts Exhibition, the museum purchased one piece of art to add each year to its permanent collection. As part of the 30^th anniversary of Celebration of the Arts, the museum is displaying the 13 pieces of art acquired since that time. Please be sure to come to the museum to see this special exhibition of work by artists in the region.
