Bohyun Yoon has a unique and unparalleled approach to animating the disembodied and disconnected in an effort to critique cultural systems and build human relationships. His work highlights the body and soul as distinctly separate with an emphasis on acknowledging the limitations of the physical while opening one’s mind to the possibility of spiritual connection and enlightenment. Yoon’s work investigates images of the human body in terms of identity, sexuality, gender and culture while exploring the limits of the corporeal and the boundaries of communication. In this solo exhibition, he presents ambitious and surprising installations, glass sculpture, photography, and video.

In cooperation with 110 CHURCH and Heavy Bubble, The Center for Emerging Visual Artists is pleased to present an Alumni Travel Grant Exhibition featuring Julia Blaukopf and Elizabeth Crisman, curated by Amie Potsic. The exhibition will be presented at 110 CHURCH gallery located at 110 Church Street in Old City and opens on First Friday, March 4th. The Opening Reception and Artist Talks will be on Friday, March 4th from 5:00 – 8:00 PM. The Closing Reception will be held on First Friday, April 1st from 5:00 – 8:00 PM. Gallery hours for this exhibition are Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, 1:30 – 6:30 PM and by appointment. Located in historic Old City, Philadelphia’s art district, 110 CHURCH gallery has been established to show site specific works and unseen work by both emerging and established artists.

Julia Blaukopf is a social artist and photographer who focuses on the work of creatives and innovators in Germany to craft visual narratives that speak to the story behind each subject. She fuses the images with various materials including wallpaper, glass disks, shells, and fabric to create installations that speak to documentary and design. Elizabeth Crisman’s work contemplates man’s evolution, both in reference to the human body and the tools used. In response to her experience volunteering at the Kfar HaHoresh excavation site in Israel, she addresses these ideas through the use of ceramic pieces made from plaster molds and photo based mediums.

CFEVA’s Alumni Travel Grant Program helps its alumni take advantage of opportunities involving travel that could have a significant, positive impact on their work. Examples include apprenticeships, use of a particular facility such as a world-class foundry or print shop, residencies and international workshops, and other specific projects involving travel. This exhibition will feature photographs and installations inspired by the experiences each artist had while traveling in Germany and Israel.
