an exhibition of new work by the Seoul and Los Angeles based artist, Haena Yoo

the exhibition features four works: Body Packages, Breastfeeding, Venus, and Shepee

a main component of Shepee is a ceramic distillation system that produces soju for people to drink while visiting the show

at the opening, someone said that the taste reminded them of drinking rainwater out of tree stumps

thanks to Sterling Wells for his help installing the exhibition
