Details

Christine Sun Kim uses sound in her performances, painting, and drawings to investigate spoken languages, American Sign Language, aural environments, and her experience as a deaf artist. In some of her work, she combines captions from movies and TV shows with printed images and objects, creating stories about the interiority/exteriority of sound.

Christine Sun Kim is an American artist based in Berlin. Kim's practice considers how sound operates in society, deconstructing the politics of sound and exploring how oral languages operate as social currency. Musical notation, written language, infographics, American Sign Language (ASL), the use of the body, and strategically deployed humor are all recurring elements in her practice. Working across drawing, performance, video, and large-scale murals, Kim explores her relationship to spoken and signed languages, to her built and social environments, and to the world at large. Kim's work has been extensively exhibited and performed internationally. She is represented by François Ghebaly Gallery in Los Angeles and WHITE SPACE in Beijing.
