In partnership with Canal Projects, Hudson River Park is excited to present a reenactment of Korean avant-garde artist Seung-taek Lee’s (b. 1932) Wind-Folk Amusement. Lee’s acclaimed 1971 performance gives form to the transient elements of nature. First enacted on Nanji Island on the Han River in Seoul, this NYC iteration will be led by the collaborative duo, Korean-American artists: A young Yu and Nicholas Oh.
The performance intends to present a new mode of artistic existence by giving discernable form to invisible air. Through the wavering of long strands of red fabric, A young Yu, Nicholas Oh, and other collaborators, including Mudang Jenn, will orchestrate a choreography that reveals natural and spiritual phenomena.
