Jiha Moon<\/h3>\n

Jiha Moon is from DaeGu, Korea, and she lives and works in Atlanta, Georgia. Moon\u2019s gestural paintings, mixed media, ceramic sculpture and installation explore fluid identities and the global movement of people and their cultures.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been enamored with Jiha\u2019s work for several years now, and I\u2019m excited to present her work to the Clarksville community,\u201d Michael Dickins, director of The New Gallery, said. \u201cHer work is fun and engaging as she mixes historical and pop culture iconography from both Korean and American cultures. She was recently selected for the prestigious State of the Art 2020<\/em> exhibition put on by the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, and was selected by ArtNet News as one of six break-out artists from that exhibition. It is a privilege to show her work at Austin Peay.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moon says of herself, \u201cI am a cartographer of cultures and an icon maker in my lucid worlds.\u201d Her cues span Eastern and Western art history, colors and designs from popular culture, Korean temple paintings and folk art, internet emoticons and icons, fruit stickers and labels for commercial products. She often teases and changes these lexicons so that they are hard to identify while remaining somewhat familiar.<\/p>\n

Moon received her MFA from the University of Iowa. She has had solo exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia, the Taubman Museum, Roanoke, Virginia; the Mint Museum of Art, Charlotte, North Carolina; The Cheekwood Museum of Art, Nashville; Rhodes College, Clough-Hanson Gallery, Memphis; and James Gallery of CUNY Graduate Center, New York City, New York.<\/p>\n

She has been included in group shows at Kemper Museum, Kansas City, Missouri; the Fabric Workshop and Museum, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, Atlanta; the Asia Society, New York; The Drawing Center, New York; White Columns, New York; Smith College Museum of Art, Northampton, Massachusetts; and the Weatherspoon Museum of Art, Greensboro, North Carolina.<\/p>\n

[320left]Her works have been acquired by the Asia Society, New York; High Museum of Art, Atlanta; The Mint Museum of Art, Charlotte; Smithsonian Institute, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.; Weatherspoon Museum of Art, Greensboro; and The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond.<\/p>\n

She received the prestigious Joan Mitchell Foundation\u2019s painter and sculptor\u2019s award for 2011. Her mid-career survey exhibition, \u201cDouble Welcome: Most everyone\u2019s mad here,\u201d organized by Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art and Taubman Museum, toured more than 10 museum venues around the country.<\/p>\n
