SUMMARY:Theresa Hak Kyung Cha: Multiple Offerings
DESCRIPTION:Artists Space presents “Multiple Offerings”\, the first retrospective in twenty-five years dedicated to the groundbreaking work of the artist Theresa Hak Kyung Cha. She produced an expansive range of works comprising performances for film and video\, installation\, photography\, artist’s books (including her genre-defying book Dictée from 1982)\, and works on paper\, which will fill Artists Space’s entire first floor. In her lifetime\, Cha contributed to experimental art scenes in New York City\, San Francisco\, Paris\, and beyond. Her work has had a quietly profound influence on subsequent generations of artists. \nAfter emigrating from South Korea to the United States\, Cha enrolled at UC Berkeley in 1969\, where she studied art practice\, comparative literature\, and film. Keenly attuned to the active role that audiences play in the creation of meaning\, she prioritized nonlinear narratives to allow for more open-ended forms of interpretation—what she termed a method of “Multiple Telling with Multiple Offering.” This retrospective adopts her framework to allow for a range of entry points into the work\, guiding visitors through the themes—memory\, displacement\, and the mutability of language\, among others—that recur in Cha’s oeuvre. \nCha moved to New York City in 1980\, where she supported herself with several jobs while pursuing her artistic career. She worked as an administrative assistant in the European Sculpture and Decorative Arts Department at the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, taught video art at Elizabeth Seton College in Yonkers\, and served as an editor at Tanam Press\, a publishing imprint dedicated to artists’ books that was founded by her friend and collaborator Reese Williams. \nOn November 5\, 1982\, Cha’s short but prolific career came to an end when she was murdered just weeks before her planned exhibition at Artists Space. At the time of her death\, Cha was producing a new photographic series inspired by her time working at the Met. Multiple Offerings presents that unfinished series of black-and-white prints alongside nearly one hundred artworks and archival materials from across her career\, highlighting the inventive\, playful\, and meditative methods of Cha’s practice.
