Andrea Chung Exhibit: You Broke the Ocean in Half to Be Here

Andrea Chung Exhibit: You Broke the Ocean in Half to Be Here

Presented by Manetti Shrem Museum at Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art

Andrea Chung’s practice finds unexpected intersections between materials, processes, and places that often investigate the histories of Caribbean island nations. "You broke the ocean in half to be here," organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, includes collages, prints, videos, sculpture, and an installation of cyanotype prints of the non-native predatory lion fish, conjuring up a fantastic underwater world that presents a potent allegory of colonization. Chung’s work is labor intensive and explores the complicated place of labor in postcolonial societies. Recently Chung was featured in KCET’s film, Artist and Mother, a documentary about the timely question of what it means to be a woman, an artist and a mother.
