SUMMARY:In Conversation with Jean Shin: Solidarity\, Monumentality\, Community\, and Agency
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Claire Kim\, Manager of Programs and Collections\, Asia Art Archive in America (AAAA) \nHow do artists navigate the tensions between individual expression and collective responsibility? How do acts of monumentality—whether in scale\, memory\, or intention—shape our understanding of community and agency? \nArtists Gyun Hur and Jean Shin come together in a profound conversation on the role of public art\, materiality\, and cultural memory in fostering solidarity. Through their practices\, they engage with themes of transformation\, labor\, and the reimagination of shared spaces. Whether through the ephemeral beauty of Hur’s installations or the large-scale\, socially engaged works of Shin\, both artists challenge the ways in which we see\, remember\, and participate in the world around us. \nGuided by Claire Kim\, this discussion will explore how art can serve as both a monument to lived experiences and a catalyst for collective action. By centering community narratives and histories\, Hur and Shin reveal how creative interventions can empower individuals\, reclaim spaces\, and forge new solidarities. \nJoin us for a compelling dialogue on art’s capacity to build bridges\, honor histories\, and redefine agency in our ever-evolving cultural landscape. \nAbout the speakers \nJean Shin is known for her sprawling and often public sculptures\, transforming accumulations of discarded objects into powerful monuments that interrogate our complex relationship between material consumption\, collective identity\, and community engagement. Often working cooperatively within a community\, Shin amasses vast collections of everyday objects—Mountain Dew bottles\, mobile phones\, 35mm slides—while researching their history of use\, circulation\, and environmental impact. Distinguished by this labor-intensive and participatory process\, Shin’s creations become catalysts for communities to confront social and ecological challenges. \nBorn in Seoul\, South Korea\, and raised in the U.S.\, Shin works in Brooklyn and Hudson Valley\, New York. Her work has been widely exhibited and collected in over 150 major museums and cultural institutions\, including solo exhibitions at The Museum of Modern Art in New York\, the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington DC\, and the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco\, where in 2020 she was the first Korean-American woman artist featured in a solo exhibition. Shin has received numerous awards\, including the Frederic Church Award for her contributions to American art and culture. Her works have been highlighted in The New York Times and Sculpture Magazine\, among others. \nHer body of work includes several permanent public artworks commissioned by major agencies and municipalities\, most recently a landmark commission for the MTA’s Second Ave Subway in NYC. She is a tenured Adjunct Professor at Pratt Institute and holds an honorary doctorate from the New York Academy of Art. \nClaire Kim is a curator and writer based in New York City. She is currently the Manager of Programs and Collections at Asia Art Archive in America. She also serves as the Director of Curatorial Affairs at The Here and There Collective.

She has organized exhibitions at James Cohan Gallery\, New York; Hessel Museum of Art\, CCS Bard; Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts\, New York; Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Art\, Brooklyn; and BRIC\, Brooklyn. Kim completed her MA at the Center for Curatorial Studies\, Bard College. \nGyun Hur is an interdisciplinary artist and an educator whose biographical context as a first generation immigrant growing up in the American South largely informs her practice and pedagogical approach. \nGyun completed Art Farm Serenbe Residency\, Stove Works Residency\, NARS Foundation Residency\, Bronx Museum AIM Fellowship\, Pratt Fine Arts Residency\, BRICworkspace\, Danspace Project Platform Writer-in-Residency\,  Ox-Bow Artist-in-Residency\, Vermont Studio Center\, and Virginia Center for the Creative Arts.

SUMMARY:In Conversation with Le’Andra LeSeur: Grief\, Poetics\, Prayers\, and the South
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Jenny Gerow\, Chief Curator at Akron Museum of Art \nGrief is an embodied experience—woven into memory\, ritual\, and creative expression. In this intimate conversation and readings\, artists Gyun Hur and Le’Andra LeSeur reflect on how loss\, language\, and spirituality shape their practices. Rooted in both personal and collective histories\, their work engages with themes of mourning\, healing\, and transformation\, particularly within the cultural and geographical landscapes of the American South. \nGuided by Jenny Gerow\, this discussion will explore how poetics and prayer—both literal and metaphorical—serve as acts of resistance\, reverence\, and joy. Hur and LeSeur examine intersectional racial grief\, considering how histories of displacement\, violence\, and systemic injustice shape our emotional and physical landscapes. Through storytelling\, performance\, and visual practice\, they reclaim space for remembrance\, resilience\, and care\, offering new ways to hold and honor complex histories. \nJoin us for a conversation on how grief and poetics intertwine to shape artistic practice\, collective memory\, and the ways we navigate loss across race\, history\, and place. \nAbout the speakers \nGyun Hur is an interdisciplinary artist and an educator whose biographical context as a first generation immigrant growing up in the American South largely informs her practice and pedagogical approach. \nGyun completed Art Farm Serenbe Residency\, Stove Works Residency\, NARS Foundation Residency\, Bronx Museum AIM Fellowship\, Pratt Fine Arts Residency\, BRICworkspace\, Danspace Project Platform Writer-in-Residency\,  Ox-Bow Artist-in-Residency\, Vermont Studio Center\, and Virginia Center for the Creative Arts.

Her body of work\, a celebration of Blackness\, queerness\, and femininity\, seeks to dismantle systems of power and achieve transcendence and liberation through perseverance. Through the insertion of her body and voice into her work\, LeSeur provides her audience with an opportunity to contemplate themes such as identity\, family\, Black grief and joy\, the experience of invisibility\, and what it means to take up space as a queer Black woman—a rejection of the stereotypes which attempt to push these identities to the margins. \nThe artist has received several notable awards including the Tulsa Artist Fellowship (2024)\, Leslie-Lohman Museum Artists Fellowship (2019)\, the Time-Based Medium Prize as well as the Juried Grand Prize at Artprize 10 (2018).

SUMMARY:Tree Tour: Kirkwood\, a Commitment to a Healthy Community
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with our project Atlanta to the Atlantic\, Flux Projects will join Trees Atlanta for a tour of Kirkwood and the Kirkwood Urban Forest. \nDiscover notable historical and horticultural stories of Kirkwood and explore an urban forest preserve right here in Atlanta. Kirkwood is a historic neighborhood on the east side of Atlanta\, Georgia that has seen many changes and challenges over the years. This thriving community is home to various community members and organizations that promote and improve the quality of life for its residents. Trees Atlanta has played an active role in planting and caring for Kirkwood’s trees over the years\, and you will see evidence of this work during the tour. Learn how you can get involved in planting and pruning trees as well as removing invasive species in greenspaces across Atlanta. Our docent has volunteered with Trees Atlanta in the Kirkwood neighborhood to help increase and improve the urban canopy. \nAtlanta to the Atlantic will be on view in Kirkwood Urban Forest September 28 – November 3. A collaboration with the South River Watershed Alliance\, this project brings awareness to the South River and its tributaries which originate and flow through south Atlanta neighborhoods\, including Kirkwood.   The tree canopy is important for protecting these tributaries by supporting bank stabilization\, controlling erosion\, serving as home to animals\, and providing a welcoming environment for us to be in proximity to the water. As a headwater to the largest freshwater system in Georgia\, the South River impacts the health of state waters from Atlanta all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. \nAbout the Tour Guide: Lenette has lived in Atlanta off and on since 2001. The first thing she noticed when she arrived\, was the amazing tree canopy. She moved to Kirkwood in 2021 and enjoys exploring the neighborhood with her two dogs. Lenette has been a dedicated Trees Atlanta volunteer since 2023 and has volunteered on several projects in Kirkwood. The forest is her happy place. \nREGISTER HERE\nScroll to bottom of page for registration fields.\n \n\nAdditional Information provided by Trees Atlanta\n \n\nMeeting Location: Free street parking is available in front of SoulShine Preschool located at 2052 Hosea L Williams Dr. NE\, Atlanta\, GA 30317. There are two Marta stations close by. We will gather as a group in front of Israel Baptist Church.\nWhat to Bring and Wear: Reusable water bottle\, comfortable shoes\, sunscreen\, layers of clothing\, hats/sunglasses\, and insect repellant are recommended.\nTerrain\, Incline\, and Length: We will be walking on mostly flat\, paved sidewalks and streets (some slight incline); however\, a small optional portion of the tour is on a narrow dirt path.
