Love Tooth

Resident Artist Heejin Jang, Youth on Record students and ArtLab interns

Reception 6-8pm Thursday, Oct 6th

Exhibition dates: Oct 6 - 22, 2016

Love Tooth is a multimedia project with PlatteForum's first 2016/17 Season Resident Artist Heejin Jang, in collaboration with students from Youth on Record and PlatteForum's own ArtLab interns.

The phrase Love Tooth (sarangni in Korean) correlates to the American term for wisdom tooth, named as such to reference the time in one's coming of age when one learns the pain that love can bring. Artist Heejin Jang, having worked on a series of sound capture workshops, references this notion of the wisdom tooth as a symbol of those young creatives who are experiencing love, pain, trouble, curiosity, failure, and mistake in their lives.

Love Tooth consists of experimental video, mural work, and sound installation.

Audio Selfies was created by Youth on Record and PlatteForum’s ArtLab interns with the guidance of Resident Artist Heejin Jang.
