Join us on Thursday, April 3 for a curator-led tour of MCA Denver's spring exhibition, Suki Seokyeong Kang: Mountain⎯Hour⎯Face, on view February 21– May 4, 2025. The exhibition is co-curated by Ellen Bruss Senior Curator, Miranda Lash, and Associate Curator, Leilani Lynch, and features a wide array of works Suki Seokyeong Kang has developed over the past several years. Showcasing Kang’s deft use of materials—from hwamunseoks (traditionally woven grass mats), dyed wool, and mulberry paper, to industrial materials like steel and brass—to create wondrous and spiritual objects and installations, the exhibition brings the artist’s vision of the landscape into three dimensions. About the Curator Miranda Lash is the Ellen Bruss Chief Curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver and the co-Artistic Director for the sixth iteration of the international art triennial Prospect New Orleans. Lash has organized a wide range of exhibitions including Eamon Ore-Giron: Competing with Lightning/ Rivalizando con el relámpago; Jason Moran: Bathing the Room with Blues; the retrospective Mel Chin: Rematch; Rashaad Newsome: King of Arms; and Swoon: Thalassa. In 2017, Lash and Trevor Schoonmaker co-organized the widely acclaimed exhibition Southern Accent: Seeking the American South in Contemporary Art. From 2008 to 2014 Lash was the founding curator of modern and contemporary art at the New Orleans Museum of Art. Lash currently serves as Vice President on the board of the Joan Mitchell Foundation. She holds art history degrees from Harvard University (B.A.), and the Williams College Graduate Program in the History of Art (M.A.) About the Exhibiting Artist Suki Seokyeong Kang’s (b. 1977, Seoul; lives and works in Seoul) research-driven practice spans across media, incorporating sculpture, painting, video, installation, and performance, as she investigates the notion of space and its relationship to an individual’s social position within society. Kang appropriates the formal language of the grid used in traditional Korean musical notation as a spatial and social structuring device. The grid is translated and reproduced as standing formations in her works that balance against, hinge on, and even protrude from the wall. In her works, the sculptures in the space appear and are further activated in her videos or performances. Hwamunseok—mats used in traditional Korean court dances—produced from woven sedge by Korean craftswomen. Each of these signals the minimum space an individual is provided in society. As these notations multiply, Kang configures them into a rich visual score suggesting the possibility of a collective consciousness rooted in individual action. Kang received an MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art, London (2012) and an MFA and a BFA in Oriental Painting at Ewha Womans University, Seoul (2002, 2000). Solo exhibitions have been held at Leeum Museum of Art, Seoul (2023); Musée d'Art Contemporain du Luxembourg (2019); Seoul Museum of Art (2019); Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia (2018); Audiovisual Pavilion, Seoul (2015); and Gallery Factory, Seoul (2013). Selected group exhibitions have been held at 58th Venice Biennale (2019); 10th Liverpool Biennial (2018); 12th Shanghai Biennale (2018); 12th and 10th Gwangju Biennale (2018, 2016); Bloomberg New Contemporaries, London (2012); MAK Center for Art and Architecture, Los Angeles (2018); Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul (2017); Villa Vassilieff, Paris (2016); and Seoul Museum of Art (2014). Kang is a recipient of Baloise Art Prize (2018) and Songeun Art Award (2013).

A very large museum, the art is very rich, not only the introduction of the United States, but also the display of cultural relics from all over the world, including the Asian side, and many special exhibitions can be visited.

I haven&#39;t been able to go abroad for a while, so I can only take out the photos I took before and look at them. I miss it a lot. We also bought a lot of things in this place, and its architecture is also very local.

Colorado State Capitol

Historic buildings

千游阁主

The State Government Plaza in Colorado, where Denver is located, is where you can visit the state government&#39;s golden-domed Capitol. Many state governments in the United States have areas open to tourists for free. You just need to go through security check at their specified time.

This Colorado State Government Capitol is the seat of the state legislature and the governor&#39;s office, and is also the office of the Senate and House of Representatives.

It is said that the golden roof of this capitol is made of pure gold to commemorate the gold rush in Colorado.

Walking in this state capitol, you can really feel that every step and every scene is particularly &quot;American&quot;, and you can see people or events related to Colorado&#39;s history wherever you look.

For a 24k pure tourist who is not so interested in American history, the magnificent European architectural style is the best for punching in. For tourists who just need to take a quick look, it usually takes 30-40 minutes to visit the three floors that can be visited, except for historical learning tourists.

After the indoor visit, you can come to the Civil Center Park, the square where the building is located, to take a look at the exterior. There are few people in the park, which is particularly matched with the temperament of the American countryside.

Lots of great exhibits and the animals look well cared for.  I would love for more non zoo attractions and services.  More food stands for instance.
