As a finishing instance to her residency at ´ace, Hee Ju Im opened to the public her sound installation Outputs. The sound installations are a combination of found-objects that can be easily found inside and outside the ´ace workshop and its studio, motors and modules that enable movements. Cupboard cases that would have been used to store papers, leftover tapes, press tables for printing, racks for storing prints, toys for children, and machines collide to create an environment in which two ears are “blocked.”

Musicologist Kim Kyung-hwa wrote about the artist’s attitude and method of approaching noise and sound in an article for the exhibition Ssang Cha Ssang Jo: “She adheres to the sound of noise, which is the sound of unpleasant, loud, nerve-racking, confusion-causing, and therefore excluded and alienated. Noise, which everyone is uncomfortable with, is the driving force of creation for the artist and the power to shine on the one’s inside. At the boundary of sound, the alienating aspect of noise becomes a powerful tool for her to say something. Noise, which the artist has observed, is an abjective existence.”

This sound installation was created by modifying and reconstructing Outputs (2022) of the Ssang Cha Ssang Jo (Block to Reveal): The Dream of Rainbow, a project that considers listening to loud and intrusive sounds as auditory masochism. It means that a being that is constantly heard but overlooked, a being that is everywhere but not revealed, a being that everyone is uncomfortable, a being that cannot define boundaries, or a being that blurs boundaries, and thus a being of “otherisation” thrown out of boundaries. Rather, noise rejects identification and subverts order and system, or the power to operate it.

Together with Hee Ju Im, her Korean colleague Heesoo Agnes Kim opened her exhibition, and we also hosted the work of our residents Michael Sell (USA), Alex Karolyi (Canada) and Marcela Caballero (Argentina).

The Latin America's Paris

Buenos Aires is Argentine Republic's capital city. With 15,000,000 inhabitants, it is one of the largest cities in Latin America and one of the 10 most populous urban centers in the world. Its cosmopolitan and urban character vibrates to the rhythm of a great cultural offer that includes monuments, churches, museums, art galleries, opera, music and theaters; squares, parks and gardens with old groves; characteristic neighborhoods; large shopping centers and fairs. Here we also find a very good lodging facilities, with accommodation ranging from hostels to five-star hotels of the main international chains. Buenos Aires also show off about its variety of restaurants with all the cuisines of the world, as well as to have cafes and flower kiosks on every corner.

A neighborhood founded on the Jesuit farms in the 17th century

We are located in Colegiales neighborhood where the tree-lined streets, some of which still have their original cobblestones, invite you to walk. Although the apartment buildings advance, low houses still predominate. It is a district of the city where about 20 TV production companies, design studios, artist workshops and the Rock&Pop radio have been located. The neighborhood also has six squares, one of which pays homage to Mafalda, the Flea Market, shops, restaurants and cafes like its neighboring Barrios de Palermo and Belgrano, with which it limits.
