Curated by Bea de Souza of The Agency Gallery, an open ended study of Korean multimedia artist Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, A Portrait in Fragments, will run at London’s Korean Cultural Centre, from September 24 to October 26. Featuring works and notes from her career, Theresa Cha’s life was cut tragically short in 1982, just days after the publication of her influential “auto-ethnography”, Dictée, which notably experimented across hypertext, juxtaposition, images and more.
Other contemporary artists, including Ruth Barker, Sujin Lee, Jefford Horrigan and Bada Song, will also be contributing to the exhibition, expanding on those questions around performance and film, Feminism and the ‘East meets West’ dialectic that Theresa Cha’s fragmented body of work provokes.**
