The  exhibition, curated by Sylvia Kim, will be on display from April 7, 2011 to May  4, 2011 and will showcase sculpture and installation works of these talented  artists.<br \/>\nThe compilation of art works created by these two unique artists of  distinct backgrounds is forged together by their interpreted manifestation of  imagination and memory. One\u2019s imaginations are seldom vivid while some memories  fade with the passage of time. We find ourselves in awe, engulfed with emotions  and intrigue in the rare moment when we are able to recall the true imagery.  Miya Ando\u2019s vision of tranquility resonates in her works of steel, as she shreds  away layers of superfluous content in search of purity. Viewers will experience  a meditative state that Ms. Ando endured during her childhood years in a  Buddhist temple in Japan.<br \/>\nSeung Wook Sim offers us the physical  representations of the environment and figures of his uncanny imaginary world.  Mr.Sim isolates himself from reality and logical reasoning in creating an  unadulterated landscape that expresses his fondness for the darkness that has  consumed his consciousness.<br \/>\nPlease join us on April 7, 2011 to celebrate the  vision of Ms.Ando and Mr. Sim.<\/p>\n<p>Artist Bio<\/p>\n<p>Miya Ando is a Brooklyn  based artist of Russian and Japanese lineage. Ms. Ando received her B.S. in East  Asian Studies from UC Berkeley (1996) then attended graduate school at Yale  University (1998) before leaving early to pursue an apprenticeship with a Mater  Metal Smith in Japan. Ms. Ando has participated in various exhibitions in New  York, California, and Japan. She was most recently commissioned by the 9\/11  London Project Foundation to create a sculpture utilizing steel recovered from  the World Trade Center.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>Seung Wook Sim was born in Seoul, Korea in 1972.
