For this Artists at Work, ISCP artist-in-residence Insoon Ha will be joined by ISCP curator-in-residence Feng-Yi Chu. They will discuss Ha’s practice and how it references gender inequality, structural violence and trauma, and notions of pathos. A Q&A with the audience will follow. 

Insoon Ha, a Seoul-born artist currently based in Toronto, Canada, works across sculpture, installation, performance, photography, and video. Her practice explores themes of power, colonialism, hybridity, and the abject. Ha’s work has been exhibited at venues including the Art Gallery of Guelph, Ontario; La Centrale Gallery, Montreal; Latitude 53, Edmonton; Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, Toronto; A Space Gallery, Toronto; McMaster Museum of Art, Hamilton, Ontario, all in Canada; Whanki Museum, Seoul, Korea; and CEPA Gallery and the Albright-Knox Museum, both in Buffalo, New York.

Feng-Yi Chu is a curator from Taiwan. His curatorial practice explores the integration of mysticism in art across cultures and eras through curatorial endeavors spanning exhibitions, research, and podcasts. Chu has curated exhibitions including Zoom of Inverted Forms (collateral event of 2020 Taiwan Art Biennial), Dear Block Chen, Solid Art, Taipei, and Relocating Divinity: Being an Atheistic Theist, Waley Art, Taipei.
