Aehee Park

Exhibition: Caring for Aehee Australia

Caring for AeheeAustralia is an installation comprised of projection, moving image and photographs which have evolved from Aehee Park’s experiences as Artist-in-Residence at the Cowwarr Art Space, Gippsland, in 2009.

Aehee Park creates media documentary works that suggest that affection, care, upbringing and control interconnect with social customs and institutions. In her works Aehee assumes various roles such as actress, director, editor or viewer of her own real-time reality show.

This exhibition explores the dynamics, challenges and opportunities of a young artist coming from the bustling city of Seoul to the tiny regional Australian town of Cowwarr. 

Artist-in-residence:

A Korean in Adelaide

During the OzAsia Festival, Aehee will be working in residence at and around the Adelaide Festival Centre, developing new photomedia work and interacting with the OzAsia ‘community’. This residency builds on the theme of the exhibition and explores changing Australian and Asian social and cultural connections.

Artist Q&A Session Sun 26 Sept 1-2pm
