American Art's Luce Foundation Center hosts local artists who discuss their work and process in the context of artworks on view in the Luce Center. The Luce Local Art Series is presented in collaboration with CulturalDC. All talks begin at 1:30 p.m. Our next artist talk is by Tai Hwa Goh this Saturday, January 17.

Tai Hwa Goh wants to lull you into an immersive experience with her installations. In her second solo exhibition at Washington, D.C.'s Flashpoint Gallery, Lulled Land, she creates an enveloping environment by combining traditional printmaking techniques with hand-waxing. Goh cuts, folds, flips, and overlaps her printed works together in ways that cease to be traditional prints and become sculptural. Filling the room, they become an extension of nature. In her multi-space installations, works look like landscapes and clouds at first glance, but closer study reveals more. By creating a work that surrounds and incorporates the viewer, Goh's pieces "evolve from biological forms to landscape..."

Goh's work can be found in the collections of DC City Hall, Lower East Side Print Shop (NY), and the University of Maryland. She earned an MFA in printmaking at Seoul National University in Korea before coming to the United States and earning a second MFA at the University of Maryland. There, she focused on printmaking and sculpture. As her art moves away from identifiable objects, it poses questions about our accepted definitions of art printmaking. She currently teaches art at Fairleigh Dickinson University and Art Center of Northern New Jersey.

She will discuss these ideas and how her work relates to works from American Art on display in the Luce Foundation Center in her Luce Artist talk on Saturday, January 17th at 1:30 p.m. Lulled Land will run at Cultural DC's Flashpoint Gallery from January 16 to February 21, 2015.
