DESCRIPTION:Prior Presents 2025–26\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Christine Sun Kim\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Deaf Death\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				A co-presentation with the Department of Visual Arts\n			\n				Reserve Tickets\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 \n\nThis presentation is sold out. There is no wait list. Please check back at the reservation link above\, as returned tickets will be added back to online sale inventory in real time. \nChristine Sun Kim is a Berlin-based artist who works with sound\, language\, and the complexities of communication. She uses musical notation\, infographics\, and language—both in her native American Sign Language (ASL) and written English—to create drawings\, site-specific murals\, paintings\, video installations\, and sculptures.  \nIn her lecture-performance Deaf Death\, Kim explores the frequent autocorrection of “deaf” to “death” in text-based technologies. Through a study of popular media\, memes\, disability signage\, and recent headlines\, Kim questions what defines disability\, and how different definitions reflect fears and hopes for the future.  \n \n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Details\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Feb 19\, 20266 p.m. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Price\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Free entry\, reservation required. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Venue\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\nLuth Concert Hall\nThe Prior Performing Arts Center \n\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					“Kim’s work . . . is often the first encounter museumgoers have with the question of what it is like to live in a hearing world as a Deaf person — with all the anger\, frustration and\, most strikingly when it comes to Kim’s work\, the humor that it entails.” \n					Aruna D'Souza\n					Contributor\, The New York Times \n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Explore More\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 \nCantor Window Exhibition\nChristine Sun Kim (b. 1980\, active Berlin\, Germany)\, Mind Touch Touch Touch\, 2025\, digital print of charcoal drawingCourtesy of the artist\, François Ghebaly\, Los Angeles and New York\, and WHITE SPACE\, Beijing. \nRepetition and iteration define Christine Sun Kim’s work\, which distinctly incorporates the visual representation of sign language. This mural was made exclusively for the Cantor’s front window and comes from a body of work that combines text and graphic representations of signs in American Sign Language (ASL). Here\, Kim depicts the arc of the hand movement in the sign obsess\, which is a compound formed by the signs for mind and touch. Through her practice\, Kim foregrounds Deaf culture; explores the relationship between sound\, language\, and image; and explores the social politics of communication. \nCLICK HERE for a video of obsess being signed in ASL.
