Koh: STALL Conceptual Based Installations Exhibition Period: 28 May - 20 June 2004 (¤¤¤å·s»D½Z) Exhibition Opening: Friday, 28 May 2004, 6-8pm. Germaine Koh, an internationally acclaimed visual artist from Canada, will exhibit STALL at Para/Site Art Space. Koh has exhibited extensively in solo and group exhibitions throughout Europe, Canada, USA, Australia, Asia and Mexico. Her conceptually-driven works are informed by her observations of everyday life, familiar objects and common places. STALL is a combination of several installation works, including new site-specific pieces, offering an interesting look at the interconnected relationship between various types of commercial transactions. In "Stall,"
grass sprouting from wooden stepped structures resembling market
stands occupy the gallery, whereby the uneven-ness of grass catches
the natural ambience of the space. While making reference to commercial
cycles of production and consumption, "Stall" takes the
gallery space out of that cycle of urgency, in favour of a natural
process of organic growth. Each of these
exciting works, which references various types of commercial transactions,
distills an action or a movement. By slowing down the processes
of transaction, STALL reveals a different time scale; one
that is organic, quiet and relaxing, shown in marked contrast to
the demanding pace of the commercial nature of the world we live
in. Each work will surprise the viewers in an unexpected twist by
slowing down or drawing out each of these processes. For
