What: Jane Jin Kaisen Solo Exhibition

Visual artist Jane Jin Kaisen will present selected works from her extensive 2011 art project titled Dissident Translations consisting of multiple artworks dealing with the history of Jeju Island. She will show a version of her video installation Reiterations of Dissent about the memory of the April Third Incident and parts of the work Light and Shadow about her personal history and the history of the haenyeo anti-colonial resistance and the translation of political history. In addition, she has created a new participatory work about memories and traces of the Jeju April Third Incident especially for the exhibition.

Jane Jin Kaisen is a visual artist born in South Korea and adopted to Denmark in 1980. Working in a project-based manner within the mediums of film, performance, and writing, she creates multi-layered narratives that seek to renegotiate representations of memory, history, and transnational subjectivity.

Kaisen has exhibited her artworks and films widely in Europe, Asia and the United States. Beyond her individual artistic practice, she is part of the artist unit itinerant_sends_for_itinerant with artist Guston Sondin-Kung.
