Em Sieler [video] is a new media and lens-based visual artist in New York, NY. They study Visual Arts and Computer Science at Columbia University and work as a freelance fashion photographer.

"I use the camera to claim ownership of my image in reaction to the violence of viewing and being viewed. I want to reclaim the portrayal of self in opposition to the bodies, stories, and emotions that are deemed acceptable enough to occupy physical and digital space. I use my body as a medium through performance and self-portraiture to resist the disembodiment of surveillance in the digital era. I participate in the performance of the self through social media and investigate the feedback response of digital spaces. I aim to interrogate the role of photography and image creation in the attention economy and the role of the self as social currency across digital landscapes."

Among the contexts of the ritual tools of Mugyo (巫敎), a native shamanism in Korea. Among them, they present the image of androgynous gods Musindo(巫神圖), which embodies the god enshrined by the shaman. Based on the recognition of the failure to perform gender normality, they would like to explore the open possibilities of gender such as androgyny and hermaphrodite by blurring gender distinctions and boundaries.

Lim Taewoong [video] 지난해 부터 나는 일렉트로닉 팝 듀오 ’청실홍실(Cheong-sil Hong-sil)’로 매달 싱글을 발매 했고 지난 5월 정규 앨범으로 작업을 마무리 했다.

이번 퍼포먼스는 ’청실홍실(Cheong-sil Hong-sil)’의 발매곡 중 ‘Sun’, ‘Mercury’, ‘Venus’를 남자도 여자도 아닌 존재로 노래한다.

‘Mercury’의 가사중 ‘춤에는 제한도 춤에는 중력도 없으니까’ 처럼 우리 삶이 춤과 음악이 넘치길 바란다.

Since last year, I have released a single every month with the electronic pop duo ‘Cheong-sil Hong-sil’ and finished work on a full-length album in May. In this performance, ‘Sun’, ‘Mercury’, and ‘Venus’ among the released songs of ‘Cheong-sil Hong-sil’ will be sung as being neither male nor female. As in the lyrics of ‘Mercury’, ‘Dancing without limit Dancing without gravity’, I hope our lives will overflow with dance and music.

Ru Kim [video] (b. 1995, Hamburg) is an artist leading a research-based studio practice that questions the use of art in resisting normalized and embodied sexist and racist violence generated by patriarchal, imperial and colonial ideologies of domination. Employing various media such as video, sound, performance, installation, and text, they seek to develop forms that challenge binaries and fixed identities. Moving through different languages and nourished by hydro-, Black, queer feminist theories, Ru Kim’s recent projects focus particularly on strategies of water as seen through a hydrofeminist lens, archives of queerness in Korean history, and archives revealing the "Asian" construction enacted by the Western gaze.
Ru Kim grew up in transit between Germany, Cyprus, Korea, Canada and Brazil, before moving to France to pursue their studies in art. They obtained a fine art bachelor and master’s degree with honors (DNSEP, félicitations du jury) at the École Supérieure d’Art et Design, Grenoble.

They currently live and work in Seoul.

루킴은 이론적 연구에 기반한 작업을 하는 작가이다. 작업에 나타나는 주된 흐름은, 식민제국주의적 지배 이데올로기에 의하여 일반화 되어버린 성차별적, 인종차별적인 폭력들을 어떻게 예술을 통해 저항할 수 있는지를 질문하는 것이다. 설치작업으로 이미지, 소리, 퍼포먼스를 사용하는 장치들을 만들고 다양한 매체를 통하여 이분법화 되고 고정된 정체성들에 이의를 제기한다. 어원에 관심을 가지며, hydro-, Black, 퀴어 페미니스트 이론 등이 밑바탕이 된다. 최근 작업으로는 특히 하이드로페미니스트 시선으로 본 물의 전략들, 한국의 역사적인 퀴어성을 보여주는 아카이브, 그리고 서양의 관점(western gaze)에 의하여 구성된 ‘Asia’를 볼 수 있는 아카이브에 집중해 왔다.

독일 함부르크에서 태어난 후 루킴은 키프로스, 대한민국, 캐나다, 브라질을 오가며 자란 후 프랑스 그르노블 고등예술대학교에서 학사와 석사를 받았다. 현재 그는 서울, 한국에서 활동중이다.
