Yong Soon Min, FF Alumn, In Memoriam
Yong Soon Min (1953-2024)
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of artist, curator, and professor Yong Soon Min. Through her multidisciplinary practice, Min investigated the ongoing Korean War, colonialism, intersections of memory and history, and diasporic identity. She was an innovator in the field of American installation art beginning in the 1990s and an inspiration to countless students and art audiences internationally.
Min was born in 1953 during the Korean War in Bugok, a village south of Seoul, South Korea. She immigrated to the United States with her family at age seven, settling in Monterey, California. She began her formal art studies at Monterey Peninsula College in 1970 and transferred to UC Berkeley where she earned her BA, MA, and MFA degrees in art. As a graduate student she befriended the artist and writer, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, who suggested that Min exhibit her art in the San Francisco Art Institute Annual in 1980. That same year she participated in the studio program of the Whitney Independent Study Program and worked as the master printer for Claes Oldenburg’s “Screwarch Bridge State II” series at Aeropress,New York. As part of the emerging Asian American artist community in the city in the 1980s-90s, Min’s participated in the grassroots organizations Godzilla: Asian American Art Network, and the Asian American Arts Alliance. Here she was encouraged to create visual responses to anti-Asian violence and imperialism. Her identity was intimately shaped by Cold War politics, including the protests against the Vietnam War and the continued division of Korea.
Min joined the faculty of the Department of Art at UC Irvine in 1993 just a few months after the devastation of the L.A. Uprising. Her classes made a timely impact on many students who were reeling in the wake of the violent spring. During her twenty-one years of teaching, Min urged students to mine their life experiences as a valuable resource for creativity. She also encouraged them to think critically and embrace experimentation in their art practices. Min’s investment in her students inspired them long after their time in the classroom andcreated a community of younger artists connected by her mentorship.
Since 1980, Min exhibited her work throughout the US and internationally. She participated in the landmark exhibition The Decade Show (1989) and enjoyed solo exhibitions at the Bronx Museum of the Arts (1991), Krannert Art Museum (1997), and Art in General (1998) among others. She took part in the Havana Biennial in 1989, 1994, and 2009, and curated several exhibitions including THERE: Sites of Korean Diaspora (2002) for the Fourth Gwangju Biennale, transPOP: Korea Vietnam Remix (2007-2009) with Viêt Lê, and Annual Report (2008) with Okwui Enwezor at the Seventh Gwangju Biennale.
During a 2010 Fulbright residency in South Korea, Min suffered a cerebral hemorrhage that impacted her speech and memory.This experience and subsequent recovery were the subject of her 2016 exhibition AVM: After Venus (May)formation at thenCommonwealth and Council, Los Angeles. At the time of her death, her work was on view at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and the Eric Firestone Gallery, New York.
Min served on the Board of Directors of the Asian American Arts Alliance, Artists Space, Women’s Caucus for the Arts, the College Art Association, the Side Street Gallery, and the Korean American Museum. She received awards from the City of Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Department, the Korea Foundation, Anonymous Was a Woman, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Min’s art is recognized in art historical texts about Californian, Korean, Asian American, and contemporary art. Her work is in the collections of several major museums including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and the Seoul Museum of Art. The UCI Jack and Shanaz Langston Institute and Museum of California Art (Langson IMCA) at UCI is organizing a fall 2024 exhibition of her last commissioned work, The Kiss, and and a 2027 retrospective, Yong Soon Min: Both Sides Now.
Min died from breast cancer on March 12, 2024 at her home in Los Angeles in the company of family and friends. Remembrances and photographs can be posted at https://www.forevermissed.com/yongsoonmin/about. Min’s family requests that donations in her honor be given to GYOPO, the collective of Korean diaspora artists and cultural producers: https://www.gyopo.shop/donate

Mark Bloch in the Brooklyn Rail with a book review of
Bern Porter’s Now It Can Be—Why Did It Fail Before?
Bern Porter (1911-2004) was a concrete and visual poet and book artist who also happened to be a brilliant scientist, physicist, and inventor that worked on cathode ray tube technology, which led to the creation of television. When the US entered WWII, he was drafted to work on the Manhattan Project, a job he quit after Hiroshima, clearing the way for the rest of his life as a trailblazing, self-publishing peacenik. By the 1960s, Porter emerged as the new underground hero of appropriated “founds,” his word for re-contextualized fragments from books, magazines, newspapers, manuals, advertisements, and junk mail, isolated and reframed as witty assertions and philosophical inquiries. The ongoing body of work he shaped over the next five decades has stood the test of time. His found texts from this plump little paperback volume are either self-help exhortations conveying urgent advice or the ransom letter-like ravings of a mad scientist running with scissors—or both.

8. Alina Bliumis, FF Alumn, at Ceysson & Bénétière Gallery, Manhattan, opening
March 21
Dear friends and colleagues
Please join me for the opening reception of my solo show
Florephemeral
Thursday, March 21 6-8pm
Ceysson & Bénétière Gallery
956 Madison Ave, NYC
https://www.ceyssonbenetiere.com/en/exhibitions/alina-bliumis-new-york-2024=1285/.
“In the first, microbial, stages of evolution, all species had the same life. They shared the same body and the same experiences. Everything we are now – whether we are an elephant or an oak, a lion or a mushroom – was concentrated in that same life which first detached itself from silent matter. For billions of years, this life has been transmitted from body to body, from individual to individual, from species to species, from kingdom to kingdom.” Emanuele Coccia, All Species Have the Same Life, GRANTA Magazine 151, April 2020
Ceysson & Bénétière is pleased to present Florephemeral, a solo exhibition with New York based artist Alina Bliumis opening March 21st 2024. The exhibition will be on view through April 27th and is the gallery’s first exhibition with the artist.
Humans have spent all of history seeking what, if anything, defines us—what separates us from the rest of the natural world. First it was the soul, then intelligence, then sentience, among many other hypotheses; each one murkier than the last. One by one, philosophers have unraveled these distinctions until the only one left standing was the quest of exceptionalism itself. The stubborn idea that we are apart seems to be the only thing that actually sets us apart.
In her Endangered series, Alina Bliumis joins a discourse which challenges this impulse all together and asserts that the fundamental quality of life and the history and evolution of humanity is intrinsically linked and intertwined with the fate of the natural world. This series of watercolor drawings, which the artist began in 2022 features sixteen portraits of endangered and extinct flowering plants in custom, hand carved wooden frames. The series will be accompanied in the show by a group of small painted floral portrait studies made by the artist for the exhibition. The term ‘portrait’ here is used in earnest, as the works-which initially may appear to be botanical drawings-actually reveal hidden faces and anthropomorphic features. By turning the flowers into figures, Bliumis subjectifies the plants and asserts the individuality of their stories.
The stories, which often come from indigenous folktales from the plants’ countries of origins, frequently center around mystical or healing properties of the plants. These properties have made them particularly subjected to over-harvesting by humans. In combination with the perilous effects of climate change and the destruction of native wildlife habitats, the overuse of these plants has led to their endangerment and extinction. At first, this news hits differently than, say, the news of the extinction of an animal species; however this is only a function of our perceived distance from the plants. Our empathy wanes the further we are on the tree of life. This is where Bliumis’s imperative comes into play. If we can bring these plants closer, make them more familiar, and tell their stories, can we internalize our shared fate? Can we potentially correct the courses of their species or pay proper respects to those we have already lost?
The assertion of the plants’ subjectivity and their demand for respect is also emphasized in the individualized hand carved frames surrounding each piece. While traditional botanical drawings have typically been kept in folios or appeared as plates in books, carved wood frames are associated with royalty and portraiture. The frames themselves often include details that emphasize the characteristics and personalities of each flower. The rippling fabric-like texture of the Corpse Flower is mimicked in the folds carved into the wood. The delicately windswept Turquoise Ixia is surrounded by fluid waves. The Queen’s Lady’s Slipper’s frame seems to crown the flower in forms that follow the shape of her petals. With extreme care, the artist draws each frame’s design exactly to scale before sending the designs to made by hand by master wood carvers. There is a poetry also in insistence on keeping dying art forms like hand carving alive. Again, the future of the flower and our own futures become intrinsically linked.
Florephemeral is an invitation to see ourselves in creatures so othered that they feel totally apart from us. It is an invitation to invest in their, and our own, protection. If in these flowers we can see humor, grief, history and play, then we may finally understand how very closely we are tied to nature and how—in writer Emanuele Coccia’s words— “everything we are now… was concentrated in that same life which first detached itself from silent matter”.

17. Suzanne Anker, FF Member, new publication
“After Eden: The Double Identity of Carbon”
My most recent publication “After Eden: The Double Identity of Carbon” (2024) explores carbon’s ultimate paradox: without carbon we cannot exist, but with too much carbon our existence will cease. Included in the book are sixty-seven full-color works from my “After Eden” photocollage series — works which fuse seasonal changes into a single image. Each day we wake, the seasons remake themselves: a new reality for which I have coined the term “Monoseason.” As temperatures rise and fall, soil turns into mudslides, fires erupt, draughts incinerate crops, diseases shift from animals to humans, and strange viruses mutate globally. “After Eden” confronts us with a phase shift of transgressive, mobile, unpredictable cataclysms, and is the result of borderless barriers wrapping around a planet without containment: a planet which itself has become a collage.

The gallery is thrilled to announce that the Centre Pompidou in Paris has acquired Mira Schor’s iconic 1991 work, Alterity. This multi-canvas painting addresses thematics of transmission of patriarchal power through a system of surrogates and extensions, themes that characterize Schor’s multi-canvas paintings of the early- to mid-1990s.

Lacan, the Exhibition: When Art Meets Psychoanalysis, Installation view at Centre Pompidou-Metz, Metz, FR, December 31, 2023 – May 27, 2024
The ideas of Jacques Lacan are, alongside the work of Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida and Gilles Deleuze, essential for understanding our modernity. While homages and exhibitions have already been dedicated to these intellectual figures, the thought of Lacan has not been dealt with in museums to date, even though he was strongly attached to works of art.
Lacan was closely involved with 20th-century art and artists, and in his teaching never ceased to draw on the art of all times. His discourse on art has been as fresh as it has been unusual, holding back, intriguing and provoking many contemporary artists. He has interpreted artworks not just as powers that give us something to see, but as dazzling objects that look back at the viewer. In devoting an exhibition to Jacques Lacan, we wanted to surround his fascinating figure with a multitude of such gazes.
