When petitions to remove this painful object from the downtown area was finally approved in 2020, it was relocated to the Fredericksburg Area Museum and an exhibition was dedicated to its history. Dr. Sims outlined the ways in which the emotional weight of the object was taken into account through the placement of a bench for reflection, public programs promoting transparency around its history, and a memorial at the former site.

I believe that the most important aspect of persuading people is to make what is known easily penetrable. What is truth? Do facts and falsehoods rely on belief? What do we believe in? The importance we assign to these questions, too, may be a flaw of belief.

I burned the original painting and left only the trace of the original painting (me) projected onto the plastic. I will display these as spaces arranged in frames. The exhibition title, (ON-NO) RED, comes from the idea that life is when hemoglobin stays in the body, and death is when that hemoglobin disappears. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6627d68ca9550059ec107b5e/1716493010046-EUXI98R5GR68CVUKMTGN/%E1%84%80%E1%85%B5%E1%84%85%E1%85%A9%E1%86%A84.jpg Artist Features - Park Karo - Handwritten notes in Korean on an ivory notepad.

While language can produce sound, symbols remain silent, conveying only marked images. I perceive this as the magic and mystery of symbols. We must consider what we perceive in the realm of images, the spiritual, representation, and materiality.

Since these stains are also a residue of the painting, I wondered if this painting was one or two pieces. It reminded me of the relationship between body and spirit. We are temporary projections, and the stains are the continuity of that projection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6627d68ca9550059ec107b5e/e798a3bf-6bd1-46e0-ba32-efe1c0df1b46/p1.jpg Artist Features - Park Karo - Make it stand out Photo by Sylvie Tamar https://www.spokesart.com/artist-features/tag/Visual+Art monthly 0.5 https://www.spokesart.com/artist-features/tag/Artist+Feature monthly 0.5 https://www.spokesart.com/home daily 1.0 2024-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/633b294d82b30f28aa639469/ec6f9f0f-a669-41c8-bff6-732f71e883c5/Arc.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6627d68ca9550059ec107b5e/dd1e4e66-a525-4eb0-b8af-5ffbed70b99b/trajectory.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/633b294d82b30f28aa639469/ec6f9f0f-a669-41c8-bff6-732f71e883c5/Arc.png https://www.spokesart.com/services daily 0.75 2024-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6627d68ca9550059ec107b5e/2ea848e3-3d0d-415c-84b6-96acdcec6465/Spokes+logo_square.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/633b294d82b30f28aa639469/ec6f9f0f-a669-41c8-bff6-732f71e883c5/Arc.png https://www.spokesart.com/about daily 0.75 2024-08-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/633b294d82b30f28aa639469/e8afaa54-78b9-464f-a21b-34efb1329d90/Arc.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6627d68ca9550059ec107b5e/7ff0668d-410a-4d22-a91d-1fcd8c1de18e/%E1%84%86%E1%85%B5%E1%86%AB%E1%84%8C%E1%85%B3%E1%86%BC+%E1%84%8B%E1%85%AE%E1%86%AB%E1%84%8C%E1%85%A5%E1%86%AB%E1%84%86%E1%85%A7%E1%86%AB%E1%84%92%E1%85%A5+%E1%84%89%E1%85%A1%E1%84%8B%E1%85%B5%E1%84%8C%E1%85%B3.JPG https://www.spokesart.com/the-watering-hole daily 0.75 2024-05-08 https://www.spokesart.com/get-started daily 0.75 2024-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/633b294d82b30f28aa639469/ec6f9f0f-a669-41c8-bff6-732f71e883c5/Arc.png https://www.spokesart.com/writing-request daily 0.75 2024-05-08 https://www.spokesart.com/social-engagement daily 0.75 2024-05-08 https://www.spokesart.com/deep-cuts daily 0.75 2024-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6627d68ca9550059ec107b5e/4faa6881-32cb-4b59-863a-181dc9e29420/Deep+Cuts_quest.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6627d68ca9550059ec107b5e/62609db0-f19e-4c94-9a66-24290cf884a9/Screenshot+2024-04-30+at+3.20.41+PM.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6627d68ca9550059ec107b5e/0dd85a9e-9111-4b97-9ea7-2c07ffff96d8/Deep+Cuts_setup.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6627d68ca9550059ec107b5e/bf270bdb-2456-4aa5-943e-0396f647dad5/Screenshot+2024-04-30+at+3.21.43+PM.png
