Multidisciplinary artist Christine Sun Kim's new commission examines how sound operates in society as well as exploring the parameters of her own relationship with American Sign Language and spoken languages.
About
As part of Hyper Functional, Ultra Healthy, Christine Sun Kim presents her new commission, Edges of Sign Language, in the intimate Gallery 31 space. Expanding on her practice of drawing with charcoal by designing and building shaped canvases that represent the limitations of physical space through an American Sign Language lens. Kim seeks to visualise the tensions between notations, marks, shapes and, most importantly, edges.
Christine Sun Kim’s practice considers how sound operates in society, deconstructing the politics of sound, and exploring how oral languages operate as social currency. Musical notation, written language, infographics, American Sign Language (ASL), the use of the body, and strategically deployed humour are all recurring elements in her practice. Working across drawing, performance, video and large-scale murals, Kim explores her relationship to spoken languages, to her built and social environments, and to the world at large.
Commissioned by Somerset House in collaboration with Goethe-Institut London.
