The CICA Museum Publishes “Artist Statement” Art-Book, My Work Included

by Daric Gill

*Update* Since this article, CICA has started to charge significant exhibitor fees that weren’t present during my exhibition. I do not generally support costly exhibitor fees.

After finishing out the year on display at the Czong Institute for Contemporary Art Museum in South Korea, my painting Absolute: Earnest has come home. The exhibition called Artist Statement has been published in an art-book that showcases a side-by-side documentation of the artwork and the artist’s statement. The concept behind the exhibit and the art-book is to show the connections between an artist’s work and their written philosophies. Read more below.

Artist Statement #1 Features works and artist statements of artists including Ankabuta, Alexis Avlamis, Hamldee Ba, James Berson, Dinkholt & Heinbar, Joseph Farbrook, Ronak Farhangian, Steven Félix-Jäger, Daric Gill, Miya Hannan, Hunter L. V. Elliott, Wun-Ting Hsu, Hyun Kim, Jaehyun Kim, Robert McCann, Kenneth Millington, Crisia Miroiu, Charlotte Oge, Robert Patrick, Allison Maria Rodriguez, Navid Azimi Sajadi, Gary Setzer, Xuhong Shang, Soraya Sharghi, Doria Sharra, Ynin Shillo, Narges Soleimanzadeh, Mariusz Soltysik, Robert Spahr, Emily Stokes, Joon Sung, Antonio Tovar, Omer Wasim & Saira Sheikh, and Jave Yoshimoto.
