The Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art at the College of Charleston is presenting "Make Room," a solo exhibition by South Korean-born, Atlanta-based artist In Kyoung Chun. The show features a mix of paintings and site-specific installations, including transparent houses and suspended structures that explore the artist's experience as an immigrant. By blurring the lines between interior and exterior spaces, Chun’s work invites viewers into environments that reflect on the fragility and resilience of home.
This exhibition highlights Chun’s rising profile in the American Southeast following her residency at Atlanta Contemporary and her recognition as an Artadia Award finalist. By utilizing metaphors of transparency and inclusion, the installation addresses timely social themes of belonging and community-building. The project also underscores the Halsey Institute's role as a non-collecting laboratory for multidisciplinary contemporary art that bridges the gap between international perspectives and local audiences.
