Project Space
Insoon Ha is a rapidly emerging Toronto artist who creates ambience-saturated sculptural installations and video works that probe the physical and psychic edges of anxiety and disturbance. Her exhibition, Drain, in the Project Space at MOCCA features an arrangement of several recently-completed components that, exhibited together, conjure worlds embedded and fraught with pain and darkness. Within this environment Ha will enact a live performance during the opening reception of the exhibition.
