From the gallery: BEST PRACTICE is pleased to announce the opening of We miss, the first U.S. solo presentation of the work of Hyeyeon Kim. The exhibition will consist of two videos and a reinterpretation of a past performance work. About the works: "Room for Breathing Only" is a video piece that depicts what appears to be a ritual performed by three women in a dimly lit room. For this work, the artist gathered her mother and grandmother in a room where they were given simple instructions to - without talking - communicate only through the tearing and crumpling of a single piece of blank paper. "Take Care (2019)" is a performance piece in which willing participants following instructions to board a train in Seoul, South Korea at a particular time and to look in a specific direction as the train leaves the station are greeted in the distance by the artist waving to them. For her show at Best Practice, Hyeyeon has reworked Take Care to happen periodically over the course of the exhibition and to be viewed online through an extensive municipal CCTV system installed throughout the metropolitan region of Seoul. She will appear briefly during the opening reception. For "Backwards to the Future (2021)," the artist stitched together a 14-minute long video narrative using only leftover and extraneous footage from several years of previous video projects. "Without shooting anything new, I decided to create a work with only the footage I already had. Looking at the huge amount of trash that is waiting because there is no more space to dump it, it seems that mankind can now be sustained with what has already been made. Need to invent new ones? The same goes for artworks. Potential trash sleeping in the corners of computers, cell phones, and external hard drives? This time, I will call them potential works." — Hyeyeon Kim About the artist: Hyeyeon Kim is a video and performance artist. She is interested in the interaction of people and social norms that shape personal relationships. She received her MFA from the University of California, San Diego in 2012. She currently lives and works in Seoul. Related links: Best Practice on Instagram

Katie Ruiz is a Xicana artist who resides in San Diego. She was raised in Southern California and Northern Arizona. Ruiz is a figure painter and sculptor best known for her blanket series in which she portrays couples standing or lying under colorful Mexican blankets. She has a strong connection with nature and often uses natural objects like rocks, shells, leaves and sticks in her weavings and sculptures. Ruiz is dedicating the piece to another artist who recently passed away, Yolanda López—one of the most important Chicana/o/x artists working in California over the past five decades. Born in 1942 and raised in San Diego’s Barrio Logan neighborhood, López was based for much of her career in the Bay Area, where she passed at the age of 79. She is best known for her iconic Virgen de Guadalupe series, a seminal oeuvre in Chicanx feminist art she produced during the 1970s, which became some of the most-widely circulated images of a Chicano artist of her generation. López was also an activist and educator celebrated for her role in the Chicano art movement. Para una celebración especial del Día de los Muertos, SDBG ha contratado a la artista Katie Ruiz para crear una ofrenda que abrirá al público a partir del 23 de octubre. Katie Ruiz es una artista, pintora y escultora Xicana que vive en San Diego y es reconocida por su serie de mantas coloridas. Esta ofrenda se dedicará a Yolanda López – una de las artistas Chicana/o/x más importantes que ha trabajado en California durante las últimas cinco décadas, así como una activista y educadora célebre por su papel en el movimiento del arte Chicano. El Jardín también albergará un altar comunitario donde el público podrá traer artículos para conmemorar a sus seres queridos.
