Joeun Kim Aatchim and Antone Könst: Moon Distance
About
Lighthouse Works is thrilled to present Joeun Kim Aatchim and Antone Könst: Moon Distance our second exhibition of the 2023 season that invites Lighthouse Works alumni to construct an emergent conversation between their working practices.
Presented as part of twofold, Moon Distance is intended as a starting point for a conversation between the artists that spotlights both unity and disorder between working practices, aspirations, and processes that are sometimes complementary, but not always. Opening up space for process, poetry, and tension within their approaches, the exhibition will bring new and recently completed artwork by Joeun Kim Aatchim (44) and Antone Könst [7] to the Fishers Island community this summer.
A price-list is available upon request, with all sales benefitting the artists and Lighthouse Works. Lighthouse Works thanks Jack Tilton Gallery and François Ghebaly.
twofold is a series of conversations in and around the Annex gallery between Lighthouse Works affiliated artists and alumni. The conceit is simple: one fellow is invited to select the work of another fellow with whom they want to be in conversation. The artists meet for studio visits and discuss the resonances and dissonances in their practices and decide together what might be presented in the space. Each exhibition is intended as a process rather than a fully-finished form. Supplementing the exhibition-as-conversation, the series also features interviews with exhibiting artists as part of Lighthouse Works’ podcast series More Friends.
