Final day for 'Workspace' exhibition: Sunday March 1 

2/25/2015

The impact of the much-larger-than-life heads and hands in the two Pressed/Pressing diptychs can only be experienced in person. The intimate size of the Dream Home triptych contrasts sharply and makes a nice transition to the warm intimacy of Tonia Di Risio's furniture-housed videos.
These are the final days to see the 'Workspace' exhibition at the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga. 

Artists Jenna Faye Powell, Tonia Di Risio and I examine the physical and psychological spaces of work, roles and expectations, whether at the office or in the home.

My photos here are focused mainly on my work but the mix makes the show interesting. 

Jenna Faye Powell takes a fun, even witty, look at office space and corporate environments. I particularly love her free-standing sculptures of large plants typically found in offices.

Tonia Di Risio's video work focuses on traditional food preparation in the kitchen (featuring various female relatives in Italy making traditional family dishes) and is placed in or on familiar-feeling home furnishings. She also has a large multi-channel projection that is really enjoyable to sit and watch.

Megan Press did a great job of curating the show, so I hope that if you haven't seen it yet you'll be able to by Sunday. If you do, please don't forget to sign the book, and share your thoughts here in the comments.

Join me and many other artists tomorrow (Sunday, February 8, 2015) for the closing reception of the YMG Invitational 2015 exhibition, a show of artists invited by artists. After 2pm a number of artists will talk about their work.

The You Me Gallery is located at 330 James Street North in Hamilton, Ontario.

While you're in Hamilton, you can check out the other small galleries along James Street North, or visit the Art Gallery of Hamilton, which is celebrating its centennial this year.

Hope to see you there!

This Saturday You Can Visit the 'Workspace' Show with Kim!

2/5/2015

 
For the many who could not attend last Thursday's opening because of the snow storm or other commitments, I will be at the gallery (2nd floor at The Living Arts Centre in Mississauga), this Saturday, February 7 from 2:30 to 4pm (I might manage as early as 2:00). It would be lovely to see you :-)

Kim's Big Day

2/3/2015

 
PictureDusting off my rusty mime skills for photographer Bryon Johnson of The Mississauga News, covering the 'Workspace' exhibition on until March 1, 2015 at the Living Arts Centre. Pictured: Pressed/Pressing by Kim Lee Kho. Photograph: Bryon Johnson http://www.bryonjphoto.com
Last Thursday was the day the 'Workspace' exhibition opened, and also when we had a big snowstorm, which began just in time to keep the expected mobs away ;-)

Thursday was also the first day of my winter term at Neilson Park Creative Centre, so naturally, also the day The Mississauga News was interested in interviewing and photographing me for the show.

So, over the phone, shortly before leaving home for class, I spoke to their reporter Jason and while trying to answer his questions sensibly, discovered how much I need to work on my interview skills! It's interesting how different it feels from an in-person conversation held in front of the work. I feel more comfortable (familiar?) with that situation which helps my thoughts flow in more useful ways.

I did a little better while modelling for the photographer, even though getting ready to meet him was a bit of a panic: a quick-change out of my charcoal-smeared teaching clothes, wiping off rather a lot of charcoal from my face, and getting at least my lipstick on before dashing off to The Living Arts Centre. The photographer (Bryon Johnson) managed to take some nice shots of my modelling efforts, and so put a human face to the show for the article.

The article and photo are now on the sites of both The Mississauga News and The Brampton Guardian. Thank you to everyone involved!
