Happiness by Haegeen Kim
Last spring, former Kansas City artist Haegeen Kim covered the entire floor of a room in the Urban Culture Project's Bank Gallery (basically an empty storefront at 11th Street and Baltimore) with Happiness, a sculpture composed of hundreds of Day-Glo, Fruit Loop-colored paper rings. The minuscule rings varied in thickness and height -- some raised a couple of inches off the ground; others were only fractions of an inch tall. Despite its size and complex order, the sprawling sculpture, like its namesake, looked timid and fragile, momentary and fleeting.
