Description:

Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art, Auburn University presents Jiha Moon: Double Welcome, Most Everyone's Mad Here ​Jan. 21 to April 30. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Jiha Moon (Korean, born 1973) harvests cultural elements native to Korea, Japan and China and then unites them with Western elements to investigate the multi-faceted nature of our current global identity as influenced by popular culture, technology, racial perceptions and folklore. Featuring over 50 works, Moon blurs the lines between Western and Eastern identified iconography such as the characters from the online game Angry Birds© and smart phone Emojis which float alongside Asian tigers and Indian gods, in compositions that appear both familiar and foreign simultaneously. Admission to the museum is free. A five-dollar donation is appreciated. For more information, go to jcsm.auburn.edu.
