While our galleries are closed we\u2019ve been reflecting on JCG exhibitions past. #<\/span>flashbackfriday<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u2800
\nOne of our highly popular Perth International Arts Festival exhibitions was \u201cU-Ram Choe\u201d in 2012. \u2800
\n\u2800
\nIn his first solo exhibition in Australia, celebrated Korean artist U-Ram Choe presented a series of his kinetic, uncanny sculptures, made from a range of high-end engineering materials, that move as you approach them.
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>

Charting a path between art, science and cybernetic technologies, the artist uses custom designed components in steel, aluminium & acrylic to form the \u201cskeleton\u201d for the \u201cbrains & muscles\u201d (CPUs & motors). This infrastructure is then assembled into otherworldly flora & fauna that are categorised with a fabricated narrative of species & habitat. The works invite the viewer to consider notions of biological permanence & the inevitability of extinction, shifting the focus from fears of our own vulnerability in times of unprecedented environmental change precipitated by our own actions.\u2800<\/span><\/p>\n
