Artist Talk: Kyung Kim & Xiangjie Rebecca Wu, hosted by Carter Shocket

Address:

Eleventh Hour Art
61 Atlantic Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11201

Event:

Join us for an artist talk with artists Kyung Kim and Xiangjie Rebecca Wu, facilitated by artist and curator Carter Shocket. These three artists are featured in Eleventh Hour Art’s current exhibition DREAM ARCHIVES. We will have time for audience Q&A after the talk. Doors: 6:30pm, Talk: 7pm.

Kyung Kim is a South Korean-born painter currently based in New York. Kyung translates her sensory memories into paintings by capturing the invisible sensitivities of sound, temperature, and time she encountered in the natural landscapes of Korea. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) and an MFA from Pratt Institute (2024). Her work has been shown in galleries across the US and in Korea.

Xiangjie Rebecca Wu (b. 1998. Jiangyin, Jiangsu, China) is an artist based in Brooklyn. Her figurative painting draws from her personal memory and daily experience. By visualizing and memorializing the lost time and land, her painting evokes contemplation on the intricate relationship between memory, selfhood, loss, and the palpable fear of insecurity that permeates our existence. She received a B.A. with a double major in Studio Art and Philosophy at the College of Wooster in 2022. Her works were collected by the College of Wooster Art Museum in 2022. She graduated from Pratt Institute with an MFA degree in 2024. Her work has been shown in Marvin Garden, NY; Cinema Supply, NY; and Art021, SH.

Carter Shocket is a trans and queer interdisciplinary artist from North Carolina living and working in Brooklyn, New York. In his work, he researches queer and trans theory and expresses his findings in woven sculpture, tapestry, and installation. He’s interested in how transness breaks what we think is fixed, and what can form in the openings of those breaks. He suggests what can form is the trans supernatural- something beyond our current reality, like the collapse of time, a re-understanding of ghosts, or a society restructured around communal care.

DREAM ARCHIVES is open through December 24th at Eleventh Hour Art at 61 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, New York 11201.
