Eunice Adorno Martínez
Eunice Adorno Martinez’s photographic documentary work focuses on the dynamics of migration, music, identity, youth, and traditions. She seeks conceptual and discursive routes for a visual poetry on migration and explores concepts such as trajectory and reunion. Her current project focuses on Mexican migration in neighborhoods of New York City, considering identity, tradition and festivities of Mexican youth. Martinez is exploring ways in which young people meet and interact with other generations, social groups and cultural norms.
Eunice Adorno Martinez lives and works in Mexico City and her photography has appeared in a wide range of publications, including national magazines and photography journals. She is the recipient of the 2010 Jovenes Creadores Grant Fondo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes for her series Fraum Blam, and has an upcoming publishing project with Fabrica editorial de España.

Eun Hyung Kim
Eun Hyung Kim’s work narrates a twisted version of mundane life. Large-scale wall drawings, sculptural drawings, fabric works, and animations show doodling as an extended form of journaling. Using collected images from everyday life alongside private memories and pop culture, he tells a story that represents how simple but bizarre life can be. Kim notes that he sweeps out thoughts from his mind and pours those images into his work. This process of “sweeping out” makes very dense and crowded images, and it depicts his inner being, including details of his private memories. The process of expressing every thought, paradoxical as it may seen, is to empty the mind. Kim relates this to the very basic philosophical question: “Who am I”? Or, “Who are we”? Kim repeats this practice by making numerous drawings, a process refers to as “Designing Egos.”
Eun Hyung Kim (born 1977, Seoul, South Korea) is based in New York, Chicago, and his hometown Seoul. Kim holds MFA degrees from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, 2008, and Seoul National University, 2006. He also attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2007. He has exhibited numerous times internationally, including Paris, Helsinki, Cologne, Chicago, New York, Tokyo, and Seoul. He has had several solo exhibitions at Gaia Gallery in Seoul and Gallery 400 in Chicago.
