Opening Reception: Eyes Facing Backward

Spend your Saturday October 18th with us, to view this special collab and to meet the artist who will be traveling from Baltimore to Boston. Boston, MA —&nbsp;LaiSun Keane is proud to present&nbsp;Eyes Facing Backward&nbsp;/&nbsp;눈이뒤집히다, an exhibition by Korean American artist&nbsp;Tae Hwang&nbsp;in relation to American Sculptor, Lawrence Weiner, fellow artist and mentor to Hwang since she was a young adult.&nbsp;The exhibition places Hwang’s recent paintings and drawings in dialogue with language works by&nbsp;Lawrence Weiner&nbsp;(1942–2021).&nbsp; &nbsp; The title of the exhibition, in both Korean and English, draws on a Korean idiom that describes sudden, irrational acts - from extreme violence to minor excesses. For Hwang, the phrase recalls her mother’s humorous scolding when she spent long hours watching cartoons. The English version,&nbsp;Eyes Facing Backward, is a loose translation chosen to reflect her dialogue with Weiner’s practice. It conveys both anger and restless energy, while also signaling the artist’s position of looking both forward and backward, navigating memory, influence, and the shared logic of art. <a href="https://www.laisunkeane.com/exhibitions/69-eyes-facing-backward-tae-hwang-x-lawrence-weiner/">FULL PRESS RELEASE</a>
