COURTHOUSE GALLERY: Sang Wook LeeNovember 10 - December 14, 2012Opening Recep-tion: Saturday, November 10, 4 - 6 PMSang Wook Lee will create a site specific installation in theCourt-house Gallery using ramen noodles. These instant noodles(which he has loved to eat since child-hood) are a symbol ofhis cultural background and Korean popular culture. San Wooksays: “Conceptu-ally, the idea of using ramen noodles as a material-was appealing due to their cultural unambiguity. For

manyKoreans they trigger memories of family, gath-erings, ceremonies,and place. Reflections on their formal, transformative,and innate ability to conjure up visions of my homeland inspiredme to implement them as a narrative device in a new series ofworks. Formally, the noodles are contained chaos. Within eachsquare block lies a seemingly controlled uni-verse composed ofa matrix of edible, soft, organic lines. Once cooked however,they are unbound and transform into a whirling composition ofsoft, lyrical lines.”Sang Wook Lee grew up and was educated in South Koreawhere he received both a BFA and an MFA from Dong-AUniversity in Busan. Subsequently, he came to the US andearned an MFA from University of Georgia in textiles. His recentexhibitions include “The Mass Killing of Pigs, 2012”, Kyoto,Japan; “Ramen noo-dle 2012”, Korean Culture Center, NewYork, NY; “VI In-ternational World Textile Art Biennial ofContemporary Textile Art, Mexico City, Mexico; “Noodle Noodle”at Emory University, Atlanta, GA; “Ramen Noodle 2008” atMOCA, Jacksonville, FL and “Pojagi-2007 Cheon-gjuInternational Craft Biennale” at Cheongju Craft Museum,Cheongju City, South Korea.
