The Libby Leshgold Gallery is pleased to present sweetly, sparkly, a new Glass Corner exhibition by Yeonoo Park, curated by Mitch Kenworthy. This work will be exhibited in the southwest corner window of the Libby Leshgold Gallery and is viewable from outside.

Yeonoo Park (b.1995, Seoul, Korea) is an emerging interdisciplinary artist currently based on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh. Her recent paintings use animation as a tool to articulate gestures and movements. She is curious about the aspects of temporality and ambiguity intertwined in the process of deeply observing and reiterating everyday moments, memories, dreams, and daydreams into moving images. She takes great pleasure in cooking, swimming, team sports, and road trips.

Yeonoo completed her BFA at Emily Carr University of Art + Design in 2021. She has shown work for the City of Vancouver’s public art program Platforms 2020: Public Works (2020), for Simon Fraser University’s visual symposium Field Stories: Community-Engaged Research in Times of Crisis (2021), and in Window Art Walk, Vancouver (2022).

Mitch Kenworthy is a painter and sometimes a writer, living and working on unceded Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh territories. Recent projects include Rehearsing a Frame for at dreams comma delta (2021), Ladner, B.C., and Gnome (2020), Surrey, B.C.

Glass Corner is a project of the Libby Leshgold Gallery that aims to support emerging and diverse art practices, with artists encouraged to make work directly for the site. Openings are held outside in the south plaza.
