Reconfiguring The Ordinary

La Sagrada Família in Barcelona

Continued from : http://bit.ly/15Xo6Qu

Antoni Gaudí's master piece: La Sagrada Família.
It has been in construction over 130 years since construction started in 1882!!! The interior completed in 2010 and the estimated entire completion dates range from 2017 to 2026, the 100th anniversary of Gaudi's death.

Definitely, I would love to go back when it completes the entire construction.

Casa Batlló in Barcelona

2013-04-08T14:18:00.000-04:00

Since I was in Barcelona, Spain, I wanted to visit several Guadi's work. I was very glad to get to see them in person. He is amazing, amazing and amazing. Here are photos from Casa Batlló!!

Gaudí enlarged the light well and covered the walls entirely in relief glazed tiles in varying shades of blue, which are darker in colour at the top and lighter towards the bottom, thus achieving an even distribution of the light. - (From http://www.casabatllo.es/en/history/casa-batllo/gaudi-work-art/ )

Lovely embossed patterns on stained-glass windows.

Velcro Brand headquarter in Spain

2013-04-07T20:24:00.000-04:00

On March 25, 2013, Yes!! I visited the Velcro Brand headquarter in Spain. : ) It was awesome to learn more about the material!

Take a look at the red lampshades!! It's made of Velcro Brand products designed by Luis Eslava and Lorena Sauras. The designers used a spherical mould to build the red globe-like lampshades, which hang in the hallway. It was awesome to see the redesigned European headquarters of Velcro in Barcelona! This lampshades remind me of my brooch piece made in 2008. : ) http://on.fb.me/XhSBLU

I had a lovely Lunch with Judith and Esther! Thank you so much for organizing my visit!

This photo was taken in Mataró, Spain after our lunch. It was wonderful to have a warm and nice weather at the end of my trip.

2012-11-26T03:11:00.000-05:00

Two years ago, I submitted my images for Art Jewelry Today 3 . I almost forgot that I applied for it. The book was published in 2011. Recently, I found the book at the RISD library and saw my images in the book. : ) So I wanted to share them with you all.

The artists provide discussions of their work along with examples of their creativity. Hundreds of vibrant color photographs display one-of-a-kind works of art, including necklaces, brooches, bracelets, rings, and earrings in gold, silver, mixed metals, glass, and enamels, with found objects and innovative designs. In a departure from the previous volumes, the artists are arranged alphabetically so readers may see the entire scope of their work on the page together.

The author, Jeffrey B. Snyder, has been writing about decorative arts for over a decade. Schiffer Publishing, Ltd. is based in Atglen, PA on the Schiffer Book Farm. The company is known for publishing high quality Antique, Arts, Architecture, Lifestyle, and Military History books, as well as a successful line of children and ghost books.

Ethics of Wearable Art (예술장신구의 윤리)

2012-09-04T12:11:00.001-04:00

My third interview with Sublime Experiment on how wearable art can have an impact in society.

“When my work communicates with my viewers and wearers, I hope they would be provoked to ask questions they would not normally ask in their everyday lives” - Yong Joo Kim

Sublime Experiment 와 함께한 세번째 인터뷰- 예술장신구가 사회에 끼치는 영향에 대하여...

“제 작품이 관객과 소통이 되었을 때 그 관객이 평소에 하지 않았던 다른 종류의 질문을 했으면 좋겠어요” - 김용주

Would love it if you could share it with others that may find it interesting. The link to the video is http://bit.ly/O6Qato

Rediscovering Beauty (아름다움의 재발견)

2012-08-17T12:35:00.000-04:00

My second interview with Sublime Experiment on how beauty can arise from mundane or ordinary materials through trust and empathy.

"I thought the path to beauty was through hiding and fixing myself. But what I learned through my work is that if I can stick with these mundane or ordinary materials for long enough by trusting that they'll eventually show me their true colors, I can always discover a set of characteristics I didn't know they had." - Yong Joo Kim

"예전에는 제 자신의 부족한 부분을 고치고 감추어야만 아름다울 수 있다고 생각했어요... 근데 예술작업을 통해서 깨달은 것은 아무리 보잘 것 없는 재료도 그 것이 가지고 있는 특성을 부곽시키면 저절로 아름다워진다는 것 이였어요" - 김용주

Would love it if you could share it with others that may find it interesting. The link to the video is http://bit.ly/PhVzgv

Art... and Prejudice (예술... 그리고 편견)

2012-08-14T10:32:00.000-04:00

My first interview for Sublime Experiment on how judgement and prejudice can block creativity.

"재료를 대할 때, 자신의 편견보다는 열린마음으로 대할 수 있다면 몰랐던 특징들을 발견하게 된다" - Yong Joo Kim

니체어워드 조각 장신구 부문 대상 수상자 김용주 작가는 일상에서 찾기 쉬운 벨크로를 소재로 수작업한 예술장신구를 7월 20일 킥스타터를 통해 런칭하였다.

귀걸이, 반지, 브로치, 팔찌 등으로 구성된 이 예술장신구는 '사소하고 평범해보이는 재료가 가진 숨은 가능성은 인간의 믿음을 통해 아름다움으로 승화될 수 있다'는 철학을 담고 있다. 그녀는 이 과정을 부모님이 우리에게 주는 믿음과도 흡사하다고 말한다.

 이번 작품은 예술가와 대중 간의 적극적인 소통을 위한 발판으로 창업된 Sublime Experiment의 한 부분이며, Sublime Experiment가 추구하는 관습적인 가치와 아름다움의 의미에 대한 재해석에 이바지할 것으로 보여진다.  

이 프로젝트는 2012년 9월 18일까지 킥스타터 사이트에서 $10,000을 목표로 할 것이며, 후원금은 장신구에 어울리는 패키지를 제작하고, 귀걸이 뒤장식 제작을 위한 맞춤 공구의 준비를 위해 쓰여진다.
후원은 1불 부터 가능하며, 35불 이상의 후원은 답례로 김용주 작가의 장신구를 받을 수 있다.

Press Release: Niche award winning artist Yong Joo Kim launches a Kickstarter project to introduce a new body of wearable art objects

2012-07-20T18:54:00.000-04:00

( 한글 보도자료를 원하시는 분은 이 링크를 눌러주십시요. )

For more information, please visit: http://kck.st/MwQRHY

Providence, Rhode Island—Friday July 20, 2012—Niche award winning artist Yong Joo Kim today launched a Kickstarter project to introduce a new body of wearable art objects made primarily of hand-cut, hand-assembled, and hand-sewn Velcro® brand hook-and-loop fasteners. (Pictured below)

Yong Joo describes the design of unique and light weight wearable art objects —consisting of earrings, rings, bracelets, necklaces, and brooches— as having emerged from sincere empathy and persistent trust in the hidden potential of a seemingly ordinary material. She compares this process as being similar to the kind of trust endowed to a student by a great teacher to bring out their full potential.

This body of work is being introduced as part of a larger project titled Sublime Experiment, a small business platform designed to explore how artists can more proactively engage with the public in order to provoke meaningful conversations around concepts of trust, beauty, and value.

Yong Joo says she believes that "art objects in social contexts, can provoke us to ask questions, change the way we understand the world, and uncover the beauty in ourselves and others, be it raw material or people."

The project will live on the Kickstarter website until Sep 18, 2012 with the goal of raising $10,000 to cover the production of custom eco-friendly packaging for the objects as well as custom tooling for the silver earring posts.
