Join artist Jae Ko and Senior Curator Valerie Cassel Oliver for a discussion focusing on Ko’s process, her relationship with paper, and her pathway to creating immersive installations that capture landscapes. The program will feature an in-depth conversation about Ko’s site-specific installation flow 流 in CAMH’s Zilkha Gallery, which features hundreds of rolls of paper that are stacked to create a drawing in the space that evokes a fantastical winter landscape. Following their discussion, the audience will be invited to participate in a brief Q&A.
