AHL FOUNDATION and DEAN PROJECT are pleased to present ON THE VERGE, an exhibition of the works of the five Korean artists selected by the jury of the Seventh AHL Foundation Visual Arts Competition. In descending order of prizes awarded, the winners are Ji Eun Kim, Eunjung Hwang, Heejung Cho, Keosang Yoo, and Ha Lee. Addressing a diverse range of subjects from combat soldiers to domestic geography, subconscious dreams, and institutional aspects of our dwelling spaces, the artists of ON THE VERGE present a critical visual commentary on global contemporary culture through a variety of media – animation, installation, collage, and painting. For some of these artists, this will be their debut exhibition in New York. The three jurors for this year’s competition were Linda Norden, Curator; Benjamin Genocchio, Editor-in-Chief at Art+Auction; and Thomas Arnold, Director of Mary Boone Gallery. ON THE VERGE is curated by Hyewon Yi, Director of the Amelie A. Wallace Gallery.
