\nWe are very pleased to welcome artist Soun-Gui Kim for a very rare screening of her video works including “Bonjour Nam-June-Paik II”, a 1984 performance of Kim with Nam-June Paik, and “John Cage, Empty Words” with Cage performing\/reading his text composition in 1986 in Marseille, France. The Korean-born, French artist has been working with video and installation since the 1970s, and over the years has collaborated and performed not only with John Cage and Nam-June Paik, but also French philosophers Jean-Luc Nancy and Jacques Derrida.<\/span>
\n<\/strong>
\nSoun-Gui Kim is currently in the US for the opening of her solo exhibition “Soun-Gui Kim in dialogue with Cage, Derrida, and Nancy” at the Slought Foundation in Philadelphia. Kim will be available for Q&A after the screening.<\/span>
\n<\/strong>
\n“[\u2026] Soun-gui’s experiment is also an experiencing of the voyage through art itself, through this singular apparatus we call “art” and its recent history ; a passage until the other side, where the “artist” no longer achieves “a work of art” but performs something else, still to be named by us, if it is to be named at all. Such an experiment which is that of contemporary art as a whole, is made by Soun-gui in her very own way, as an experiencing of fading out. Each time, her time is one of dissolution, disappearance, evading or erasing. Of an angle closing up or the aperture being shuttered, of a sliding to the side, off screen or into the digital decomposition deep into the monitor or deep into the picture itself. Maps are cast into deep shadows, photographs become blurred, screens melt down, noises die away, figures thin out and the frog jumps off.” – Jean-Luc Nancy, from Experiencing Soun-Gui<\/span>
\n<\/strong>
\n“Soun-Gui Kim in dialogue with Cage, Derrida, and Nancy” at the Slought Foundation (Philadelphia, PA) runs from December 6 through January 18, 2014. More info available at www.slought.org<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span>
