Jung Eun Park, in front of Paper Menagerie Series, 2006
New York-based Jung Eun Park (born 1979, Seoul) was one of the artists who had flown in for the opening of Banquet: A Feast for the Senses. The above photo shows her standing in front of her work Paper Menagerie Series. Scattered across a wall painted sea-foam green, it's one of the most radiant areas in the show. Although the individual pieces are untitled, the delicate works of paper present organic forms that suggest vegetable peels seen under a microscope. Here are some of her reponses to "What are you eating?":
What foods do you love?
I like every kind of food but especially foods from the sea, except sea cucumber.
What do you like to eat with family and friends?
Spicy crab soup and dwenjang jjigae (traditional Korean soup)
What do you like to eat when you are alone?
Kimchi jjigae and Korean style beef curry.
What is the first thing you remember eating as a child?
One thing I can definitely remember is, I really didn't like to eat spinach. (Now I love it!)
What are three things you would like to eat before dying?
1. Toro sushi 2. Caviar with bread (I love it but it's too expensive) 3. My mother's dwenjang jjigae
