Roll, run, hit, run, roll, tick …. No, it’s not a football cheer; it’s an art form.

The NIU Art Gallery will host a gallery by Jin Soo Kim, titled “Roll-Run-Hit-Run-Roll-Tick.”

“Roll …” is an artwork that encompasses two concepts: time and experience. The installation is composed of eight 10-inch-tall by 8-foot-long steel tunnels.

Inside the tunnels are continuous sounds, clocks ticking, light bulbs breaking and people walking on glass, among others, can be heard while viewing the artwork.

Gallery director Julie Charmelo described the sounds as “haunting.” She said students come see the artwork to expose themselves to non-traditional art.

“This piece is very different and worth considering,” Charmelo said. “It will help broaden your horizons to what is considered art.”

Kim’s work has been recognized by the Chicago Cultural Center and was exhibited at the Smithsonian, the Brooklyn Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art (Chicago), among others. Most recently, her work was on display at Dartmouth College and at the David Winton Bell Gallery at Brown University.

The third-floor gallery, 215 W. Superior, Chicago, will display Kim’s work from today through Oct. 18. There will be a public reception for Kim from 5 to 8 p.m. today.

The gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. Admission is free and open to the public. For information about the gallery or the artwork, call 312-642-6010 or visit www.vpa.niu.edu/museum.
