Artist Talk by Soojin Chang

Thursday, 08 August 2019, 6:00-7:30pm
In English with Khmer translation
Sa Sa Art Projects, #47 St 350 (off 95)

Soojin Chang' residency is made possible through the support from Rei Foundation.

Soojin Chang’s artistic practice is led by an inquiry into political and individual trauma, particularly the way these are internalised and inherited in the body schema. Her performance and video works are driven by examinations into the agency and fertility of both humans and nonhumans. Her work aims to deconstruct systems of oppression and power in order to rethink ecological destruction. She uses appropriation to challenge authorship and renegotiate representations, survival mechanisms, and immigration patterns of colonised cultures and diasporas. Selected exhibitions include MoMA PS1, New York; Institute of Contemporary Arts, London; Centre for Contemporary Arts, Glasgow; Microscope Gallery, New York; and the Art/Life Institute, New York.
