| Thomas Park is pleased to announce its summer group exhibition, Where Did Marion Crane Go?, featuring works by Greg Colson, Patrick Michael Fitzgerald, Dukhoon Gim, Byungkoo Jeon, Keetae Kim, Stefana McClure, Simon Morley, and John Yau.
Taking its cue from cinema’s enduring interaction with the visual arts, the exhibition is a close survey of how artists absorb and reinterpret the moving image. Drawing from personal, cultural, social, and film-historical references, the participating artists engage with their own cinematic experiences—not by replicating them, but by filtering, restructuring, reimagining, and ultimately transforming them into new visual forms.
Ranging from conceptual abstraction to poetic collage, from text-based works to cinematic reinterpretations, each artist in the exhibition offers a distinct response to the ways in which filmic format permeates and shapes visual perception. Their works trace the lingering emotional, metaphysical, and formal echoes of film—its atmospheres, gestures, edits, and afterimages—across a spectrum of media and artistic sensibilities.
The exhibition title alludes to a moment of disappearance, suspense, and unresolved narrative—a reference not only to Hitchcock’s Psycho but also to the larger idea of what is lost, obscured, or hidden within perceived reality. In this sense, Where Did Marion Crane Go? considers cinema not only as a source of inspiration or reference—alongside literature, music, and memory—but as a metaphor in its own right, a sequence of light, time, and fractured imagery that has the potential to re-examine our reality.
