Hyunjin Kim on Frequencies of Tradition at Afterall Talk
On July 19, 2023, curator Hyunjin Kim will present a public lecture titled 'From Ghost of Modernity to Spirit of the Ungovernable' as part of the Afterall x MRes Exhibition Studies series. This discussion will delve into her exhibition 'Frequencies of Tradition,' which has been a focal point of her research since 2014, exploring the theme of modernization in Asia and the redefinition of tradition as a space of contention. The exhibition critiques the relationship between tradition and its role in perpetuating patriarchy and authoritarianism. Based in Seoul, Kim curated the Korean Pavilion at the 58th Venice Biennale in 2019 and has been involved with KADIST's 'Frequency of Tradition' initiative, along with notable exhibitions from 2006 to 2021.
