JUNEBUM PARK: To Let
Junebum Park is an artist based in Korea. Through a clever shift of
perspective, Junebum transforms the most ordinary of environments into
extraordinary scenes in which the artist’s hands interfere with the
forces and currents in a way that is both comic and timely.
The artist has reflectively made work directly to his experiences in
Manchester, which living out of a suitcase! has continued his research into
personal feelings in differing living urban conditions across the
world.
The artist has been commissioned by CUBE to develop new work for an
exhibition in its main gallery, opening on the 2nd September and running
until the 5th October. This commission will act as a world premiere.
CUBELab: Julia Münz & Annika Unterburg - Seedbank for
Treehouses
This year´s CUBELab artists, Hamburg-based Julia Münz and
Annika Unterburg, will present their current collaboration: "Seedbank For
Treehouses", an architectural fantasy.
The image of a treehouse evokes associations of childhood,
lightheartedness and freedom. It is an archetype of an improvisationally
tinkered, individualistic and temporary architecture in a
handyman´s garden. A treehouse is a child's place of retreat and a
nest to build secret projects.
At the show the artists will present, amongst drawings and models,
a specially designed Multiple: You can pick up a lucky bag containing
"Indian Palace + Ulmus minor", "Snailhouse Carpinus betulus“ or
"Goethes Summerhouse + Fraxinus exelsior“. Seeded today - ready for
occupancy in only 30 years.
Supported by the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, The Ministry of
Culture.
