In AVP Lab, Jeuno Kim’s (b. 1977) exhibition Movements That Matter will be accompanied by performances from July 15 to July 22. Both the exhibition and the performances need reservation.
Jeuno Kim is an artist who continues her artwork in various fields including text, place, performance, and art education. With a focus on diasporic identity, the artist researches issues of representation, feminist pedagogy, and comic book drawings. This exhibition explores the form of ‘performance-exhibition’. Performance- exhibition is a form that the artist has experimenting with to think about the place and time in which her work is exhibited.
Using textiles, drawings, prop objects, sound, and text, Movements That Matter discusses how the spaces we inhabit and collaborate in are connected to our memories and stories. The artist will inhabit the exhibition space for the duration of the exhibition. The space is rearranged with various forms of furniture and tools that the artist needs to live and work. Thus, this performance-exhibition is continuously created as the artist stays in the space and interacts with the audience. In the three performances, the artist reads text that interweave personal anecdotes and history to talk about the impact that the ambiguity of memory has had on the formation of queer identity.
The exhibition is a continuation of several projects by Jeuno Kim and curator Seewon Hyun under the same name. It offers a chance to glimpse the intersection of curating, performance, and exhibition that they have been collaborating on for many years.
