Description: Berlin-based artist Christine Sun Kim discusses her wide-ranging practice around sound and language. Kim, who was born in California and is now based in Berlin, reflects on her experiences as part of the Deaf community, using performance, video, drawing, writing, and technology to explore how we perceive and understand sound. In her talk, Kim will delve into her work within various systems of visual communication, including American Sign Language (ASL), musical notation, infographics, and television captioning. With humor and critique, Kim illuminates the complexities of social interactions where language, culture, and access collide. Kim is currently showing a new mural, Ghost(ed) Notes, on the east facade of the Henry Art Gallery. We encourage you to visit the mural prior to the talk.
Prior to Christine Sun Kim's Graduate School lecture, there will be a chance to informally meet the artist and share some light refreshments in the Jacob Lawrence Gallery Gathering Space, Tuesday, April 29th from 3-4pm.
