Kakyoung Lee
Kakyoung Lee’s moving images are focused on the repetitive nature of personal daily life. The monotonous daily ritual is deconstructed and reconstructed in a fresh configuration in which nothing is the same and all things are in continuous flux. Lee combines hundreds of hand drawn images and prints to construct a moving image that reflects the sequence of activities in ordinary life and alludes to her search for her identity in the different geographic and cultural milieus through which she has passed in the travels between her two home countries, South Korea and the United States.
Kakyoung Lee (born 1975) works with moving images, prints, drawings, and installations. She received a BFA from Hong‐Ik University, Seoul, and a MFA from Purchase College, NY. Lee has exhibited widely in Korea and the United States including the Drawing Center; the Lower East Side Print Shop; the Queens Museum; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; and the Seoul Arts Center. Lee has participated in residencies at the Marie Walsh Sharpe Space Program, Brooklyn; Yaddo, Saratoga Springs; the MacDowell Colony, Peterborough, NH; the Lower East Side Printshop, New York; and the Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning, New York. Lee is a recipient of awards from the Pollock Krasner Foundation Grant (2010), the Korea Arts Foundation of America Award for Visual Arts (2010), and the AHL Foundation Award in New York (2009). Lee’s works are in the public collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and Library of Congress, Washington D.C., among others.

Laura F. Gibellini
In her work Laura F. Gibellini reflects on how the representation of purely physical and geographical sites is linked to the psychological and emotional connotations of used, interior, domestic and domesticated places. Gibellini uses drawing, collage and mixed media to investigate the complexity of livable/inhabited spaces, addressing the paradoxical nature of the domestic realm.
Laura F. Gibellini is a visual artist and researcher based in Madrid and New York City. She received her PhD from Complutense University of Madrid after conducting research both at MoMA and at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum. She is a faculty member of the School of Visual Arts.

Past Resident2011: Ministry of Culture, Taiwan
Yu-Cheng Chou
Yu-Cheng Chou plays with design – including modification, shifting, transfer, and the differences of time or locations – in his works to reflect on the status quo, and he highlights the discrepancy between individuals and existing facts through manipulating products and procedures. With such techniques Chou creates a dialectical interplay between the source and the result of his creations. In his recent works, he has designed “paths of economic structure,” so that alternative benefits are generated for the businesses or organizations that participate in these projects. Chou’s works are embedded with a slight amount of criticism, yet they also establish a new relationship and status for the artist and object.
Yu-Cheng Chou (born 1976, Taipei) live and works in Taipei. Chou studied at the l’Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-arts de Paris, l’Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs, Paris and the research program – La Seine, at l’Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-arts de Paris. Recent solo shows include Rainbow Paint, Kuandu Museum, Taipei; Representa.tiff, Galerie ColletPark, Paris and Yu-Cheng CHOU, Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, Colorado. Group exhibitions include Taiwan Calling, Mücsarnok Museum, Budapest; Reshaping History, China National Convention Center, Beiljing; Live Ammo, Museum of Contemporary Art, Taipei. Chou recieved The Taishin 2011 Annual Visual Art Award, Taiwan.
