Artists Panel with Eva Fàbregas, Lucy Kim, and Sui Park

Hear from three of the artists included in Bio Morphe, Eva Fàbregas, Lucy Kim, and Sui Park as they discuss how their work draws from nature and biology and engages with new technologies and material sciences. The hour-long panel will be moderated by Bio Morphe curator Frauke V. Josenhans, then followed with a light reception.

About the artists:

Eva Fàbregas (b. 1988, Barcelona, Spain; based in Barcelona) produces sculptures and installations made of soft or inflatable materials that evoke organic forms, organs, membranes, or bulbs. Through her objects, she investigates how the morphology and tactile condition of some materials affect human emotions and desires. Fàbregas studied Fine Arts at the University of Barcelona and Chelsea College of Arts and Design, London. For her work in Bio Morphe, the artist will be adapting and expanding her Exudates series of soft sculptures, recently on view at Matadero Madrid.

Lucy Kim (b. 1978, Seoul, South Korea; based in Cambridge, MA) is an artist working across painting, sculpture, and biological media. In her hybrid works, she embraces distortion as a tool to critically question our conventional perception systems and to highlight how they are informed by socio-cultural systems and subjectivity. Kim is an Associate Professor of Art at Boston University. She holds a BFA in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design and graduated from the Yale School of Art with an MFA in painting and printmaking.

Sui Park (b. Seoul, South Korea; based in New York, NY) creates 3-dimensional organic forms and biomorphic ambience that are static yet dynamic, illusory, and mystical. Park’s education includes an MDes in Interior Architecture at Rhode Island School of Design and a BFA in Environmental Design at Maryland Institute College of Art. Park also has an MFA and BFA in Fiber Arts from Ewha Womans University in Seoul, South Korea. Commissioned by the Moody for the Bio Morphe exhibition, Park will present new sculptures from her Microcosms series that will be sited in and outside of the building.
