Description

Join us for the opening reception of two captivating exhibitions at the UB Center for the Arts Galleries!

UB CFA First-Floor Gallery:

Yoonmi Nam: Among Other Things

Yoonmi Nam invites us to contemplate the ordinary in an extraordinary way. Her work reimagines everyday objects, like takeout containers and cardboard boxes, into thought-provoking still lifes and sculptures. Through meticulous observation and transformation, Nam questions our societal conditioning and the fleeting nature of value.

UB CFA Second-Floor Gallery:

Wuon-Gean Ho: The Heart’s Sight

Wuon-Gean Ho delves into the power of memory and sensory experience in The Heart’s Sight. Her meticulously crafted prints capture intimate, visceral moments that resonate with our own lived experiences. The exhibition explores themes of connection, loss, and the multifaceted nature of human emotion.

Don't miss this opportunity to engage with these artists and their inspiring work!
