HyeKyong Yun

Vernissage: Friday, November 14th, 2008, 5 to 8 pm

This exhibition is an objectification of HyeKyong’s self-portraiture onto other subjects. Its focus is on Asian males in their twenties; not yet men, but no longer boys. The loss of communication between the human being and the environment that surrounds him as he searches for his identity is exposed by the subject’s melancholy: a deep emptiness in his facial expression and gesture as he interacts with the world around him.

2 presentations: 7pm and 9pm

Part 1 : Cible de Dieu by Jacques Poulin-Denis

It screams, it’s raw, it’s urgent. It’s about sex, love, emotional desire and the need to please. Les Cuisses à l’Écart du Coeur tells the story of men and women living a fallacious sexuality. With the sexual act, they refute their true selves by denying their real desire and they reproduce social stereotypes that have nothing to do with how they really feel.

All levels are welcome from first time amateurs who want to try the basic drawing exercise to professional artists honing their skills.

For 15$, you get small group sizes, a professional and experienced model, and perfect lighting and temperature. Most importantly a comfortable and creative atmosphere is assured. Plenty of red and white wine, cheeses, nuts etc. will be served. So come ready to eat, converse, drink and draw!

Shakespeare has created his hero, and the characters that surround him, in a fast paced drama full of powerful and conflicting emotions; love & hate, jealousy and ambition, sexual desire and individual integrity.
