Céleste Boursier-Mougenot at Barbican Centre, London. Max Neuhaus. Neuhaus' Documention. Artist: The Dream of the Audience. Although she lived only 31 years, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha left a substantial and diverse body of work.
The primary mediums in which she worked were: ceramic, performance, artist’s books, concrete poetry, film, video, sculpture, mail art, audio, and slide projections. In many cases her work combined aspects of different media, blurring the boundaries between conventionally distinct categories. It was characteristic of Cha to take the thematic and formal approaches developed in one medium and reinterpret them in another; elements of film and video, for example, find their way into artist’s books and vice versa.
The central theme of Cha’s art is displacement. While she occasionally addressed the personal and historical circumstances of her exile directly, Cha typically treated this theme symbolically, representing displacement through shifts and ruptures in the visual and linguistic forms of her works.

Michael Beitz. YURI SUZUKI. Alfredo jaar. Alfredo Jaar. Artist Alfredo Jaar (b.1956) explains how he has always felt that in order to act in the world, he had to first understand the world.
Images and media is key to this, he says: "Every single image out there in the world, represents a conception of the world. Represents an ideological conception of the world. They tell us things about the world. " In this interview Jaar talks about four works: The Rwanda Project, Searching for Africa in LIFE, From TIME to TIME and The Sound of Silence. For 6 years Jaar followed the news and the western media's lack of reacting to or coverage of the 1994 Rwandan genocide.
Jaar also explains why he does not like the term political artist, but feels everyone engages with the world: "Because we act in the world, so everything we do represents a conception of the world. Alfredo Jaar is representing Chile at the Venice Biennale 2013. The interview was recorded at Malmö Konsthall, February 2013 Interview by Christian Lund Camera: Steen Møller Rasmussen.
