HAMILTON, NY.- The Picker Art Gallery at Colgate University announces the opening of its new exhibition, Jaye Rhee. Contemporary multimedia artist Jaye Rhee embraces a myriad of disciplines within the visual and performing arts, including photography, film, dance and music, to address such themes as the body’s movement through space, the relationship between aural and visual perception, and the role of memory in recreating the past. The artist’s solo exhibition at the Picker Art Gallery features a selection of video installations as well as photography from key points in her career. It also debuts a new two-channel video created specifically for the Picker.

Jaye Rhee was born in Seoul, South Korea, in 1973 and currently lives and works in New York City. She received her BFA (2001) and MFA (2003) from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
