NADA House 2024

DIMIN is excited to exhibit Soojin Choi’s large-scale ceramic sculpture ‘I Found You Out’ at NADA House Governors Island. A master of the architecture required for the medium, Choi selected one of her largest works to date to be shown outside at NADA House. Choi’s sculptures depict tangled body parts to draw attention to the otherness found as a foreigner, and her unresolved nature of finding a “home”. Pointing to unresolved emotion, Choi highlights the ambivalence of human emotion and form so viewers can empathetically interact with the figures she creates. She employs a multifaceted discipline to convey the ambiguity of emotion, employing a blend of flat and spatial surfaces, subtle facial expressions, gaze, body language, color, and brushwork. Choi was recently quoted by the New York Times saying, “I believe we can read each other more clearly through body language, especially because I’m always thinking and speaking in two different languages, and not perfectly in either one. In some ways, I feel like a foreigner in both Korea and America now — but at the same time, I feel more empathetic for the differences between the countries, too.’”
