What's your zodiac animal?
See the fantastically interpreted version of lunar zodiac signs by the incredible artist duo @aydo_studio in our Mythical Creatures exhibition!

Lunar Mythos reimagines the twelve zodiac animals as emissaries of ancestral protection.
Comprising thirteen works in total, the series features the twelve zodiac animals (monkey, snake,
tiger, dog, rabbit, dragon, ox, ram, rooster, horse, pig, and rat) as chimeric forms encircled
around a twelve-headed female Buddha. The series draws from funerary effigies found in burial
tombs from the Shilla Dynasty; each sculpture replicates the textures and proportions of these
ancient guardians using traditional ceramic methodologies that have been passed down for
centuries. The work explores our cultural inheritance as Asian-American artists and becomes an
act of reclamation as we also embed contemporary elements such as eroticism and queerness into
this pre-colonial iconography. Through labor-intensive and syncretic processes, Lunar Mythos
repositions ancestral artifacts as living markers of diasporic identity rather than relics of the past.

International Arrivals speaks with AYDO @aydo_studio the interdisciplinary artist duo of Nicholas Oh @nicholasohstudio and Ayoung Yu @ayoungyustudio (Korea/USA), about their exploration of Korean folklore and pre-colonial spiritual practices through ceramics, performance, and video. They reflect on their diasporic experiences, cultural identity, Oh’s connection to breakdancing, and the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) that divides North and South Korea. The DMZ features prominently in their project “Border Ecologies,”created for Open Call: Portals at The Shed in New York City in 2025, which includes life-size ceramic zodiac figures and video.
