Exhibition talk with Sunjung Kim, Adrián Villar Rojas and Jane Jin Kaisen, moderated by Noit Banai (in English)

Thursday, September 19, 6 p.m.

Sunjung Kim is the artistic director of the Art Sonje Center in Seoul. The South Korean is also the founder and artistic director of the REAL DMZ PROJECT, an art and research project launched in 2011, which seeks to explore the (in)visible boundaries of the Demilitarized Zone through critical artistic perspectives and to remind us of the division of Korea.

Jane Jin Kaisen is a professor at the School of Media Arts at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. The South Korean-born artist is known for visually striking and poetic film works in which she addresses themes such as memory, migration, and borders, situated between lived experience and broader political narratives.

Adrián Villar Rojas is an Argentine, nomadic artist. He creates large-scale, site-specific installations that integrate sculpture, drawing, video, literature, and performative traces. In his works, he examines the conditions of a threatened humanity on the brink of extinction, outlining the boundaries of a post-Anthropocene era where past, present, and future converge.

Noit Banai is a professor of Diaspora Aesthetics at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. The American art historian and critic specializes in modern and contemporary art in a global context. Her research focuses on the conditions of migration, exile, diaspora, border regimes, and statelessness.
