Additional information
by Theresa Hak Kyung Cha (Artist), Victoria Sung (Editor), Julie Rodrigues Widholm (Foreword by)
The most comprehensive volume to date on the life and legacy of the Korean American artist and writer best known for her 1982 novel, Dictée, featuring new scholarship and previously unseen documentation of her work and archives
Published with Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive.
The first museum monograph dedicated to the artist since BAMPFA's 2001 out-of-print catalog, The Dream of the Audience, this volume spans the full breadth of Korean American artist Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's (1951-82) multifaceted career across conceptual art, mail art, film, performance and poetry. It features over 100 objects and ephemera drawn primarily from BAMPFA's collection and archives, distinguishing itself as the largest publication to date dedicated to the artist. Presenting aspects of Cha's practice that have never before been published--including early works in ceramics and fiber--Multiple Offerings highlights Cha's critical explorations into language, memory and diasporic identity. The volume also situates Cha's contributions within a constellation of artworks by contemporaries and peers, as well as those by artists working today who have directly responded to her legacy.
