Theresa Hak Kyung Cha: Multiple Offerings
Event WebsiteAbout
Theresa Hak Kyung Cha: Multiple Offerings is the first retrospective in twenty-five years dedicated to the groundbreaking work of the artist Theresa Hak Kyung Cha (b. 1951, Busan, South Korea; d. 1982, New York City). Cha produced an expansive range of works across text-based media, video, and performance, including her posthumously published book, Dictée (1982). The artist’s interdisciplinary practice gave shape to the experimental art scenes in San Francisco, New York City, and beyond.

The largest exhibition yet dedicated to Cha also marks the first retrospective on the Korean American artist in more than two decades. The 100-plus objects and ephemera on view illustrate the breadth of her multifaceted career, from conceptual art and film to performance and poetry. On April 4, authors Brandon Shimoda, Divya Victor and Cathy Park Hong will discuss the lasting impact of Cha’s work, including her posthumously published book, “Dictée.”
