In Movements That Matter (re-mixed digital v. 202012), Kim narrativizes and embodies a diasporic identity that lives with and is formed by the precariousness of translation and of going in-between spaces, lands, customs, and languages. The rambling essayistic narrative weaves in different strands of anecdotes and subjective understanding of history that spans from social housing development projects in Korea, musings on Scandinavian language, the joy of eating melons, favorite artworks that are “re-cited” and performed, tales from the pandemic, and wrestling with internalized homophobia.
In this digital performance version that is re-cut and re-mixed using the footage from the original performance documentation in 2019 at Changgo theatre in Seoul, Kim spins an absurd and painful tale that captures the comical process of coming out late in life and its repercussions, that is juggled with tales of illness and survival strategies during the pandemic.

1+1= Trekant (세모) is a curator-artist group initiated by Seewon Hyun and Jeuno JE Kim. Based respectively in and between Copenhagen, Gothenburg, and Seoul, the group aims to explore new exhibitionary strategies that have performance or the performative as a foundation from which different forms emerge whether it is a text, an exhibition, a play, a lecture, or a workshop. This is the group’s third manifestation that brings together the three spheres of Performance, Practice, Curating (PPC), playing with the notion of performance as a practice for curating; and its inverse – curating as a practice for performance. For this iteration graphic designer, Kyusun Anna Shim participates in the making of PPC.
 
 

PPC is a performance + exhibition by 1+1=Trekant
PPC manifests as a digital performance (A) and as an exhibition (B)
PPC-A happens twice on 2020.12.05 & 2020.12.12, a zoom URL is provided upon registration.
PPC-B is located at Seoul Youngsangu Yungmundong 25gil, at AVP LAB. It is open from 2020.11.28-2020.12.13
PPC- is conceived by Jeuno Kim and Seewon Hyun as part of their activities in the collective 1+1=Trekant(세모), which first debuted at the Art Academy in Oslo, Norway, 2018.
PPC-B exhibits a “manual lecture” by graphic designer Anna Kyunsun Shim, “fruit market library” that consists of performance scores and digital elements by Jeuno Kim.
PPC stands for Performance, Practice, Curating and as such it means to reinforce the overlapping elements among the three
PPC localizes “practice” as a midpoint around which performance and curating can be examined. It acknowledges the importance of process and demands the rigor of arriving at conclusions that can be derived from the given context.
PPC’s A+B consists of the following: Jeuno Kim’s performance work “Movements That Matter” (re-mix v.2020); Seewon Hyun’s “A Greengrocer Curation Lecture”; and a dialog with curators Gahee Park and Dain Oh, and producer Jinyong Shin.
PPC’s “Greengrocer curator” is first coined by the artist Donghee Koo in a text message sent on 2020 11.15
PPC’s A+B sometimes invites others. Sometimes A sends more telepathic messages to make up for the actual manpower that is needed. Sometimes B tries to override it’s technical existence, trying to become an entity of its own.
PPC hosts on 2020 12 12 “the guest couch” where the audience can meet two curators and a producer. In between Korea Standard Time (KST) and Central European Time (CET), the standard and central will remain in its position. This event happens 6pm KST and 10am CET.
PPC is the output of 1+1=Trekant(세모) consisting of a digital performance (B) by Jeuno Kim, and AVP LAB’s research exhibition (A)
PPC as a spatial entity is not only limited to the above. B exists physically but also within the digital frame of A, as well as in the spaces that fall outside of what can be seen within the framing.
PPC’s B and A both display graphic designer Anna Kyusun Shim’s “manual lecture” whose operative function changes from B to A. Images of robotic and geometric forms are in movement between B and A.
PPC houses elements from a performance that took place in 2019 at Changgo Theatre in Seoul. Without a clear purpose, curator Seewon Hyun decided to visit the theater and later showed Jeuno Kim some pictures of the dressing room, the bumpy walls in the dressing room, the wonky ceiling, and some clothes on a hanger. It was 2019 1.17
PPC has a standard and a central
PPC’s digital performance A and workshop exhibition B will appear irrespective of the order of preparation and beginning, however what happened first doesn’t necessarily mean that it will be the first to be finalized. Between completion and finalization can the process be reversed?
PPC’s A and B all contain fruit, abstracted forms, and voice
PPC – wonders, why is there such a big discrepancy between the hand-drawn sketch of a table and the hand-made table that is in the space?
