The paintings of artist Jim Gaylord push the boundaries of identified space and the ambiguity of object relation. Referencing elements of traditional surrealism, Gaylord updates his method of creation by distilling information from film stills. Using several layers of transparent film, the artist is able to render specific elements in the found image that reduces the still down to spatial planes, shadows and general landscape and architectural structures. The process works as a visual filter, allowing Gaylord the opportunity to shift the story of the film, still offering even greater narrative possibilities and meaning. Gaylord received his degree in film from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and his MFA from the University of California at Berkeley. He has received both a Joan Mitchell Foundation grant and the Eisner Award in Art Practice from UC Berkeley. Recent solo and two person exhibitions include “I Thought You Were Waving at Me” with the Gregory Lind Gallery in San Francisco and “Jim Gaylord & Eric Hongisto” at the PS 122 Gallery in New York.

Using the framework of children’s drawings, Korean artist Yeondoo Jung has created a series of photos titled “Wonderland.” In this series, the artist takes a literal approach in translating information between actual children’s drawings and staged photographs. Space and distance are distorted as the artist’s photographs offer a mix of reality and fantasy in the interpretation of a child’s view of the world. Yeondoo Jung received his BFA from the Fine Arts College at Seoul National University and his MA from Goldsmiths College at the University of London. The artist has exhibited with Tina Kim Fine Art, NYC (2005), and Insa Art Center, Seoul (2004). Jung also participated in the artist residency programs Villa Arson, Nice, France (2004); and Art Omi, NYC (2003). In 2002, the artist received the 2nd Shanghai Biennale Asia-Europe Foundation Cultural Grant.
