HEADSPACE
JANUARY 29 - MARCH 12, 2022

Take it Easy will present Journey Vision: Kith+Kin Edition a collection of video works by JooYoung Choi spanning from 2014 through 2019. The work is be exhibited in its entirety on our website below (23 Minutes, 36 Seconds) and in part in HEADSPACE at our brick and mortar gallery in Atlanta.

Through painting, video, sculpture, animation, music, and installation art, multidisciplinary world builder JooYoung Choi documents the interconnecting narratives of a highly-structured, expansive fictional land called the “Cosmic Womb”.

This paracosm stretches over approximately 6,732 miles, and is governed by Queen Kiok, with the help of Captain Spacia Tanno, Plan-Genda, Pleasure Vision, six humanoid creatures called Tuplets, Lady K, Aidee Three, Emo Flowers (No. 36), Kun-Yook Six, Lydia “Nine” Fletcher, Haneul-Sek aka Nina Blue and one Earthling from Concord, NH named C.S. Watson.

Guided by the “Cosmic Womb” mythology, Choi creates work that merges the autobiographical with the fantastic into a visual form.
