KADIST Online Programs | September 2020

Join us for a series of online artists’ conversations focusing on their works presented at our exhibitions in Tokyo and San Francisco.

Tom Nicholson & Alexandra Pirici in conversation, Friday, September 18, 1pm (Paris) | 8pm (Tokyo). The artists discuss their works that bear witness to mechanisms of uprooting, displacement, or appropriation applied throughout the course of colonialist and imperialist policies. The artists are joined in discussion by writer and editor Andrew Maerkle. Live stream on zoom in English with simultaneous Japanese translation.

Dale Harding & Asako Iwama in conversation, Friday, September 25, 1pm (Paris) | 8pm (Tokyo). The artists focus on how to reestablish possible anchors, by emphasizing the trajectories of objects—whether natural or human made—and their intangible inheritance. The artists are joined in discussion by writer and editor Andrew Maerkle. Live stream on zoom in English with simultaneous Japanese translation.

Online premiere of Jeamin Cha’s Ellie’s Eye (2020), Wednesday, September 30, 5pm (San Francisco) | +1 day 9am (Seoul). Cha’s essay-film examines the complex relationship between mental health, new technologies, ethics, and efficiency through the use of original and found material. The screening will follow with a conversation between the artist and KADIST curator Shona Mei Findlay on zoom. Live stream on zoom in English.

The first two events are in conjunction with the group exhibition Things Entangling, curated by Che Kyongfa and Elodie Royer, a collaboration with MOT-Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo. The third event coincides with Jeamin Cha, Troubleshooting Mind I, II, III at KADIST San Francisco.
