Theresa Hak Kyung Cha was a pioneering artist who explored questions of social and cultural alienation and displacement through video, film, performances, and artwork. She is perhaps best known for her prose/poem book Dictée, a complex multi-form text. Along with her family, Cha emigrated to the U.S. from South Korea in 1963 and this early experience would mark her later creative works. A panel of scholars and curators will discuss the body of Cha's work following the screening. This program provides a rare opportunity to view a recreation of Cha's installation Exilée (1980, 50 mins, B&W, Super 8mm/video). Cha described Exilée as "an attempt to disinherit the existing Time construct, its repetition, to make Entry into the Absence of established continuity and chronology in Time. Within memory is the Time that is explored." Mouth to Mouth (1975, 8 mins, B&W, 3/4" Video), a beautiful, evocative work which suggests the difficulty of speaking, and thus alludes to her own existence between two languages, and Videoéme (1976, 3 mins, B&W, 3/4" Video), a video concrete poem, will also be shown. The panel is composed of moderator Laura Hyunyi Kang, author in Writing Self/Writing Nation, a collection of essays on Dictée; Elaine Kim, Professor in Asian American Studies, UCB, editor of Writing Self/Writing Nation; Moira Roth, Professor in Art History, Mills College; Larry Rinder, Curator, UAM.
