"Falling Free: Seung Yul Oh, Rohan Wealleans, Mark Boswell, George Chang, Dave King, Jae"

Christchurch, ,

The Physics Room contemporary art project space kicks into gear with its
first new exhibition for 2004. With a year of dynamic projects from both
local and international artists to look forward to, we get it all started
with a showcase of some fresh young talent from Auckland in this month's
Falling Free.
Falling Free is a group show curated by Auckland based Korean artist, Jae
Hoon Lee. This exhibition will install the works of six young artists in
such a way that the artworks have a chance to expand and change their
physical territory and conceptual meaning in terms of mixing individual
works in a hybrid manner. Most of the artists are graduates of Auckland's
Elam art school - Seung Yul Oh, Rohan Wealleans, Mark Boswell, George
Chang, Dave King and Jae Hoon Lee.
As an artist / curator, Jae Hoon Lee brings together new works from the six
artists - most of whom have a rebellious masculine energy in their art
practice in terms of subject matter and expression. Installed as a group,
the individual works will function together as one organic piece, a key
aspect of the project that the curator describes as a metaphorical "growing
tree."
Literally "free-falling" from Auckland to Christchurch for this exhibition,
each artist's work includes an element of their own persona, with the
installation transferring the private experience to public. The curator is
concerned with "expanding the boundary of art practice", allowing new
meanings to develop through the intimate relationships between each work in
form and concept.
