MELA Foundation Dream House

275 Church Street, New York

MELA Foundation’s Studio View presentation of Jung Hee Choi’s recent works, Ahata Anahata, Manifest Unmanifest II, has been extended for one additional week.  The exhibition will be open Thursday through Saturday, September 17 – 19, 2009, from 6 pm to midnight, in the MELA Dream House, 275 Church Street, 3rd floor, New York.  Ahata Anahata, Manifest Unmanifest II features three multimedia installations, a series of drawings, videos and a sound environment including her new installation work Composition 2009 #1 created with needlepoint drawings on black wrap with video. Viewers experience the drawings as indiscernibly moving light from video projection glowing through the pinholes creating abstract and analogous representation of Manifest Unmanifest.

In a further expansion of the concept of Ahata Anahata, Manifest Unmanifest presented at Tompkins Square Gallery in 2007, this show illuminates various aspects of Choi’s works and their relationships across different media.

Choi has written,

“It is especially meaningful for me to show my works in the Dream House space because my work has evolved from the visionary inspiration of La Monte and Marian.  With this exhibition audiences may experience their concept of eternity taking a form of ephemeral presence that is infinitely variable while flowing from the principles they have delineated.“
