June 25th–August 7, 2011
<p> KimSu Theiler will be joining Stephanie Barber at the end of July to participate in Stephanie Barber's 31 day/31 video project. Please join Stephanie throughout these coming days in her video production project at the Baltimore Museum of Art.
*jhana and the rats of james olds* or * 31 days/31 videos * From June 25th until August 7th 2011, Stephanie Barber will be moving her studio into the Baltimore Museum of Art. There, she will create a new video each day as part of the Sondheim Prize Exhibition.
The goal of this project, entitled *jhana and the rats of james olds or 31 days/31 videos*, is to create a series of short, poetic videos in the playful and serious footprints of Oulipo games and daily meditations. Her hope is that this piece will serve as both a constantly changing installation as well as a collaborative performance in which museum visitors are present as spectator and creative partner. Colliding the concepts of creation and display, product and production Barber hopes to enliven the museum with the joy, frustration and wonder of the moments before a piece has been completed. She will also share the composure implicit in the definition of "completion," as each of the videos she creates will be displayed.
"I am thinking about the emphasis given to product over production, or display over creation. The piece is a video screening and an installation and a performance--a spiritual obeisance, an athletic braggadocio, a consideration of marxist theories of production (with the assembly line so lovingly lit). It is a funny game for me to play, an exercise in
concentration, discipline and focus, an extension of my everyday. It is a greedy desire to squeeze a massive amount of work out of myself; a dare; a show I would like to see myself. It is like the back story before the story, an inversion of the way we usually experience art work. a moving from the inside out. I was thinking how the interiors of museums are really only able to share what is almost the exterior of a piece of art work--and though this colliding of the interior and exterior is fuzzy--a step towards the interior of any art piece might be the making of that piece. I am interested in the tedious and repetitive qualities of meditation and art work, the difference and similarities in these two practices. The practice and work of these practices--the dispelling of the so seductive myth of artist as creating through a vague and florid explosion of inspiration--or perhaps interested in romanticizing the effort and challenging technical, logistical, practical elements of creation. The tedious as IT. Or one of the ITs. Like all pieces of art it is accordion in its intentions, shrinking and expanding upon use." -Stephanie Barber

<p> Text from This is Chang-dong
Postscript
What began as a point of anxiety resolved itself weeks later. My eyes had not failed me. The woman in the photograph wasn't my mother. She was my kun emo: my mother's older sister.
Sung Uk says, "Changdong Studio and my home so close. It's good. My Mother's place so close to Changdong Studio."
It is the first of December, the first day of my short-term residency. I am following the studio's published website directions to get to the studio. They have not updated the directions to reflect the new consolidated bus lines. I use Exit 2 at the Changdong station, but there is no mini-bus line #50. I walk down the street to check if the mini-bus might be stopping on another corner. After seeing no other buses, I go into the E-mart to ask for directions. I eventually end up on the #1157 and get off near the Eunuch's graves, and walk until I finally find the studio.
During the settling-in process: establishing myself at the studio, getting materials to brainstorm and refining my project idea, I think about my brother, Sung Uk, a sibling I didn't even know I had. Our correspondences have been by email with the exception of two brief conversations on the phone. In all our exchanges, he's never answered the question of where he lived. I only know that he lives in Seoul and works in Hongdae. He emails me thinking I am still in New Jersey. I email him back the surprising news that in fact I am in Seoul, at the residency in Changdong and have been to Hongdae buying art supplies and looking in various restaurant windows wondering if he might be inside one of them.
Several days later, after a missed phone call and a missed visit, we are face to face. He tells me the beauty shop of my memory is in Suyu. We go there.
On the way to his house, which is a five-minute drive from the art studio, he points to the church my mother used to go to with our sister. His new home is also the house my mother lived in for some of the years I've been living elsewhere. It turns out the location of my artist residency is also my hometown, the place I was born, and the neighborhood my birth family still lives.
On Christmas day my mother and sister take me to the E-mart that I had gone into only 25 days earlier lost and looking for directions to a non-existent bus line. After shopping for oranges and instant coffee, we look for my mother's older sister who happens to live in one of the apartment buildings next to Changdong station. When we arrive at her place she is not there, but her door is open, so we go inside and make ourselves comfortable. As we wait for her to return, I look at an old black and white picture of my mother's sister.
korea diary entry 2006.01.20
enter into fiction...all the autobiographical has been, will be fiction.
he came today for a visit, chapped face and barely awake. we hung back.
i wondered if either one of us knew what would happen in the coming days.
i took out the photograph given to me by my mother.
i asked prosecutorially, "who is this?"
a pause, and then some embarrassment. he said, "kun emo."
After seeing the pictures in my mother's sister's house and then seeing my mother again, I knew before I asked who it was. But, no matter, the piece has already become a fiction.</p>
