La Galerie Pfriem | Rue Saint-Trophime, Lacoste, FR
The SCAD exhibitions department presents "In Wonderland," a solo exhibition featuring new paintings and works on paper by Polish artist Joanna Wezyk. In these deeply hued landscapes, Wezyk weaves fantasy and reality by integrating interpretations of Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" characters within the sublimely haunting and painterly landscapes of America's Yellowstone National Park. These inventive scenes evoke a paradox between beauty and danger serving as a universal metaphor for the balance and wonderment of life's struggles, fascinations and curiosities.

HONG KONG - SCAD presents "The Mechanics of Invention," a solo exhibition of photographs and animated film by Yeondoo Jung, on view now through Jan. 8, 2012 at SCAD Gallery, 2/F, 30-32 Wyndham St., Central, Hong Kong. The exhibition and a public reception, scheduled for Friday, Sept. 30, 6-8 p.m., are both free and open to the public.
"The Mechanics of Invention" features Jung's Location photo series, which playfully entrances viewers by revealing just enough of the pre-planning, working details and craftsmanship utilized to create his images. With narrative and cinematic influence, and respecting the general notion of photography as a documentary medium, Jung's "Location" images incorporate simple set design, props and studio lights at an outdoor location to make images that slip between both the real and the imaginary. In "Location #24," for instance, Jung, at a roadside mountaintop, captures the precise moment when the sun met the height of his lighting equipment, and fashioned a tropical oasis in the middle of a lake. He altered the scene just enough to create an uncanny juxtaposition of scene and character that is both enchanting and mysterious.
In addition to the "Location" series, Jung's short film "SIXPOINTS" is showcased as part of the exhibition. "SIXPOINTS" oscillates between real and invented environments by animating images of New York City neighborhoods with mysterious shadows and artificial light. Jung's camera captures unique cultural communities - Indian, Italian, Chinese, Korean, Mexican, Russian and Jewish - revealing distinct points of the city and individual points of view that are expressed in the quotations read aloud to accompany the animation. Each culture-specific short story told in "SIXPOINTS" expresses certain ideas about the relationships people have with one another and the relationships they have with the city itself, such as sacrifice, compromise, ambivalence, loneliness, loss and recovery, and promise.
