쥬노 김 <사물화되는 운동거지>
<사물화되는 운동거지 Movements That Matter>는 거주하고 협력하는 공간이 우리가 살아오고 기억하는 이야기와 어떻게 직관적으로 연결되는지 탐구하고자 한다. 이 작업은 텍스타일, 드로잉, 소품, 사운드, 텍스트를 스코어로 이용하는 전시이자 퍼포먼스이다. 전시 기간 중 시청각랩에 거주하는 작가 쥬노 김의 전시/퍼포먼스는 기억의 모호함이 어떻게 퀴어적 정체성 구성에 조형적인 역할을 하는지 이야기한다. 이번 전시/퍼포먼스는 건축적으로 직조된 기억의 집합으로서, 일련의 수치심이 각자가(우리가) 내리는 결정을 어떻게 정의하도록 하는지 살핀다.
작가는 퍼포먼스-전시 기간 동안 시청각랩의 레지던시 작가이자 전시공간의 지킴이가 된다. 이 공간 안에서 자신이 배열한 총체적인 설치(installation) 안에서 작가는 생활하고, 일하고, 전시하고, 활력을 불어넣고, 퍼포먼스할 것이다. ‘퍼포먼스-전시’는 작업이 전시되는 위치와 특정한 때가 되는 장소와 시간에 대해 다각도로 사고하기 위해 실험해 온 형식이다. 작가는 작업의 개념화와 제작 과정이 예술가의 노동에서 가장 관대하고 생산적인 순간이라고 생각하며, 본 프로젝트는 관객과 공유할 네 개의 과정 중의 공공적 선언이다.

Movements That Matter
Movements That Matter is a performance work using textile, drawing, props, sound, and text in a score to explore how the spaces we inhabit and work in are connected intuitively to stories we have lived in and remember. The performance is a gathering of architectonic textile memories that structure the narrative on how the nebulousness of memory has a formative role in constructions of queer identity and how shame can determine decisions we make as artists. In a text that weaves between Korean housing history, translating between Scandinavian languages, exhibiting as an artist, and working as an educator, Kim spins a performative narrative that rollicks between the shame of coming out later in life and living in translation as a diasporic subject.
The first iteration of Movements That Matter (Chap1-3) was staged at Changgo Theatre, Seoul in 2019; the second (Chap 4-5) manifested as a zoom performance in 2020, and the third was published as a podcast (Chap 5) commissioned by Museet for Samtidskunst in 2021. The second and third iterations of the project were manifested under Covid-19 as attempts to continue developing the project that was intended originally to take place in Audio Visual Pavilion’s (AVP) exhibition space that would allow for a total installation in which a workshop on related themes can take place.
For the context at AVP, Kim will score the final chapter of the project that deals with, “Art Education”. Here, she writes about artist-teachers such as Kerry James Marshall, Marion von Osten, and Yvonne Rainer that have been important in her own formation as an artist, while reflecting on her present realities as an arts educator. She will make a new costume, “Thorsgade 85” based on a studio she had in Copenhagen for five years. She will conduct interviews with the artists that were part of the studio collective then, linking the studio place where work is made, to an institutional context of the art academy where work is conducted with others; and perhaps answer a question she is often asked: do you have any time to make your own work?
I will construct a total installation in the AVP Lab space that functions as a scenography/setting for the performance. The scenography is developed and constructed to function as a stand-alone exhibition open to the public. The performance itself is 40minutes long and will debut 15-16th July and as a “finissage” on the 20th July. In addition to the 3 performances, there will be “dialogues” that function as a hybrid of artist talk/workshop with audiences that want to discuss the topic of art education, performance, and shame.
