“To Tend To” Artist Talk

  • Second Shift 1128 Payne Avenue Saint Paul, MN, 55106 (map)

To Tend To emerges from an accumulation of gestures through which the mind and body found stability within the vast movements that shapes a lived life. Asymmetrical symmetry of talismanic objects made by slow repetition, the measured pace of the hands works towards a state of balance. 

Across the exhibition, tending becomes a continuous act, the method. Attention functions as care and meditation, as a way of reassembling the self before extending outward. What is mended internally shapes the reach beyond the self.

Bo Young An is a Korean-born, Thailand-raised, third-culture artist whose ritualistic practices moves through layered inheritances shaped by migration and adaptation. Grounded in an interdisciplinary approach as she explores how memory, cultural continuation, and daily gestures of making become sites of stability within transience.
