Author Description

"Since the 1970s, pioneering artist Soun-Gui Kim has drawn inspiration from Eastern and Western philosophical traditions in developing a playful and enigmatic aesthetic. This trilingual publication collects for the first time selected writings by and about the artist, including essays long and short, interviews, fragments, photographs, and privately circulated pronouncements, including exchanges Soun-Gui Kim has had with her contemporaries. Follow Soun-Gui Kim as she engages her interlocutors - including philosophers Jacques Derrida and Jean-Luc Nancy, artist Nam-June Paik, and scholars Jean-Pierre Cometti and Wan-Kyong Song, among others - in conversation about art and creativity, silence and chance, and the role of technology in contemporary life"--
