March 6: Saturday Sessions presents Eunhye Hwang and YEMENWED

Saturday, March 6, 2010
4:00 PM to 6:00 PM

For Saturday Sessions, Eunhye Hwang will perform her recent work The Road. Hwang's live work is absorbed in a immediate space of the here and now; turning spaces into places where she can play, practice, partition and participate with the public. In The Road, Hwang uses radio static and her own body to make a curious kind of music. Performance will begin at 4PM in the 3rd Floor Main Gallery.

A special performance by YEMENWED will also take place in the 1st Floor Painting Gallery at 5PM.

Eunhye Hwang was born in Seoul Korea in 1978. After graduating from Fine Art Painting at the Yong-In University in Korea she studied Performance and Sound Art at the Hochschule fuer Bildende Kunste in Braunschweig, Germany.
