Working predominantly in drawing, performance, and video, Christine Sun Kim's practice considers how sound operates in society, deconstructing the politics of sound, and exploring oral languages as social currency. Kim’s work delves into the physicality of sound, along with a personal interrogation of the often unarticulated etiquette of sound in society. Through a variety of forms she finds new 'signs' for sound as she experiences, understands, or imagines it. Musical notation, written language, American Sign Language (ASL), and the use of the body are all recurring elements in her work. She further uses sound to explore her own relationship to verbal languages and her environment. Her work asks critical questions about the ownership of sound, and the values and rules that govern the invisible force that surrounds us all.
