DESCRIPTION:The College of Arts + Architecture hosts a reception for (The D
 istance of the Moon) featuring work by artist and educator Soo Kim.\n\n \n
 \nIn early 2026\, artist and educator Soo Kim traveled to northern India t
 o visit Jantar Mantar\, a collection of 18th-century geometric monuments w
 hich functioned as unique astronomical instruments. This observatory was c
 onstructed by Maharajah Sawaii Jai Singh II of Jaipur to predict the time 
 and movements of the sun\, moon and planets. Aiming for a clearer picture 
 of the entire sky\, the large-scale structures each possessed a specialize
 d architectural function whose measurements could be seen by the naked eye
 .\n\nThroughout her practice\, Kim has photographed locations imbued with 
 layers of histories\, colonial pasts\, utopic ideals\, political conflicts
 . She systematically deploys intricate acts of removal and layering which 
 render her pictures as wholly new compositions which are sculptural\, nuan
 ced and anomalous. There is a protraction that ensues\, which yields a slo
 wness in viewing the amalgam.\n\nIn (The Distance of the Moon)\, Kim has h
 and-cut absences and created disruptions in the masonry of the instruments
  which give way to glowing\, celestial spheres that evoke the very systems
  being measured.\n\nBorn in South Korea\, Soo Kim is based in Los Angeles.
  After earning a BA degree from the University of California\, Riverside\,
  she combined studies in Critical Writing\, Art\, and Film at the Californ
 ia Institute of the Arts in Valencia for her MFA. She is currently the Pro
 fessor and Program Director of Photography\, and heads the Critic-in-Resid
 ence program at Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles.\n\n\nThe ex
 hibition is on view Aug. 10 - Oct. 7.
