Look Book

Arts & Sciences PROJECTS is pleased to present “Proof of Purchase”,
Christa Joo Hyun D’Angelo’s first solo exhibition in New York City
on view from November 10 - December 11, 2011
Christa Joo Hyun D’Angelo’s exhibition at Arts & Sciences PROJECTS,
located steps away from the Canal Street epicenter of cheap designer knock-offs,
concurrently explores the allure and glamour of the luxury market while also functioning
as a “safe space” for reflection and decompression for weary consumers lost in a world
of Groupons™ and all-night super sales. Simultaneously criticizing and engaging
the system, the artist’s installation, stocked with precious luxury items displayed
on ready-made fixtures, functions also as a pop-up designer boutique where all
is for sale, including “YOU.”
PROOF OF PURCHASE
D’Angelo’s sculptural works, using materials sourced primarily from established
retail venues and flea markets, set an alluring backdrop for her presentation of an altered
Todd Selby coffee table book and digital C-prints originating from collages of Hollywood
icons and Princess Diana adorned in lavish jewelry. A digital Look Book will be
available to entice visitors to actively peruse D’Angelo’s merchandise, thus rendering
them complicit in the desire to consume.
As we dive head-on into the annual marathon of holiday shopping,
“Proof of Purchase” offers timely insight into the contradictions
embedded in advertising and global consumer culture.
Berlin-based artist Christa Joo Hyun D’Angelo was born in Korea and raised in New York. She received
her BFA in painting from the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, Poland. D’Angelo recently had
her first solo exhibition at Galerie Suvi Lehtinen in Berlin and was included in Berlin’s Preview Art Fair.
