Soo Sunny Park: VAPOR SLIDE
Cranbrook Art Museum
Bloomfield Hills, Michigan
November 17, 2012 - March 17, 2013

SSVT (South Stratford, Vermont) VAPOR SLIDE, a complex and beautiful site-based installation by Soo Sunny Park, opens in the Wainger Gallery at the Cranbrook Art Museum on Friday, November 16th. The artist will give a talk on Friday, open to the public, at 6:00 p.m.

Park's large-scale installation, SSVT (South Strafford, Vermont) VAPOR SLIDE (2007), is a monumental work that achieves both an ethereal presence and the sense of an integrated environment.

Made of quotidian materials-chain link fence, plastic cups, paper clips, river rocks-Park brings these seemingly innocuous materials together in an unexpected and imaginative way, crafting a dazzling environment of diffused light, suspended canopies, and a rhythmic patterning of light and dark.

At once rigorously structured and impossibly fragile, the work transforms the space of the gallery into a subtly shifting perceptual experience that is visceral, tactile, and, surprisingly, emotional. The use of chain link fence, a conventional boundary demarcation, is employed here to create an inviting space, rather than being used as a means to impede access. In so doing, SSVT (South Strafford, Vermont) VAPOR SLIDE becomes a spellbinding meditation on the interstitial spaces we encounter every day and the myriad possibilities hidden within.

The artist created the work in response to the undulating, snowy hills of South Strafford, Vermont - a new landscape given her childhood in Korea and in the south. Born in Seoul, South Korea, she moved to the United States of the age of eleven and grew up in Georgia and Florida. Park is a 2000 alumna of Cranbrook Academy of Art's Sculpture Department, and is now a tenured profession at the Studio Art Department of Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. Before studying at Cranbrook, she received her BFA from the Columbus College of Art and Design in Ohio.
