Join SCAD deFINE ART 2022 exhibiting artists Elaine Cameron-Weir and Carter Flachbarth with SCAD MOA adjunct curator Humberto Moro and gallerist Cristina Grajales for a special tour as they offer insight on artistic practices across sculpture, painting, and object design, as well as bold and innovative ways to engage issues of function, representation, and materiality.
About the artists
In her artistic and writing practices, Elaine Cameron-Weir (b. 1985, Red Deer, Canada) grapples with questions of individual and collective human survival, while also considering the potential for renewal and transformation in states of being and forms of knowledge. Her work is informed by belief systems that structure how people make sense of and meaning in the world — from science and religion to nationalism. Often repurposing objects with previous scientific, medical, or military functions, she creates exquisitely assembled forms that conjure speculative uses or ritual applications in times past and future.
In Morality Sucks, the first museum exhibition for SCAD alum Carter Flachbarth (B.F.A., painting, 2020), the artist presents recent paintings that cast an ambiguous male figure in myriad narratives, reflecting on anxieties and tensions founded in topical global events. Packing his paintings with situational clues, Flachbarth (b. 1996, Atlanta) prioritizes action through the amplification of scale, rendering exaggerated bodies cinematically, as if through a fisheye lens, bending and twisting the picture plane in irregular positions.
Sang Hoon Kim (b. 1979, South Korea) has developed a signature technique for originating organic and colorful works with an unlikely material: foam. His unique treatment of the design object — making use of color, texture, and multi-perspectival shapes — creates a rich connection to sculptural practices. For his solo exhibition at SCAD MOA, the artist presents a group of recent objects that are diverse in function but cohesive in their playful and innovative approach to design.
