The Free Cure
The Free Cure is a socially interactive art installation that helps serve the power of universal affirmation. The idea was born at my art installation in 2015 at the Las Vegas Life Is Beautiful Festival Art Motel. Upon being invited to create an installation I thought this would be the perfect opportunity for a feel good art experience. Inspired by the idea that we carry the power to heal and inspire ourselves and each other the "Free Cure" was born. Hundreds of cures were written there and then shared at the next location and on social media. The FC then went on to several studios and county workshops before making it's way to the Left of Center Gallery in Las Vegas to be a part of a solo exhibition "No Ordinary Life" in 2016. From there it continued on to Vesta Coffee 2017 in the arts district. Then, in 2018 at the Las Vegas Sahara West Library the FC inspired over 600 participants to share what moves them through stories, quotes, ideas and sketches on individual rx prescriptions made out to themselves and to the world. There it continued to take on many more calls for the cure! Check out the gallery below of past events and shared cures.
There is also a Free Cure Nomad that is a tight little traveler satellite to the Mothership and will tour throughout creative locations beginning in the Las Vegas valley and beyond. Bookings are available for public spaces at no cost only suggested donation for supplies needed. Please inquire at johnson.kim388@gmail.com for more information and scheduling in the Las Vegas area.
