"Dear D," Opening Reception

Opening Reception: Saturday, May 6, 3 pm - 5 pm

AHL Foundation is pleased to present “Dear D,” an exhibition featuring the works of four artists who explore how desire can be used as a tool to engage with the world. The exhibition will be on view from May 6 - May 20, 2023, at the AHL Foundation Gallery (2605 Frederick Douglass Blvd., New York, NY 10030).

“Dear D,” showcases the works of Austin Li Chang, Enzo Lee, Chucky Kim x Nak, and Jean Oh, who come from different backgrounds and use various mediums such as painting, video, and music to convey their personal experiences with desire. Diasporic and immigrant desires reveal the inner worlds of marginalized bodies and minds that negotiate their futures.

“Dear D,” – we write a letter to our desires. We make art not to passively meet our desires but to seek them out. “This letter is sent perpetually to a destination named desire,” said Jiyoung Lee, Director of Programs and curator.
