On 25 and 26 July 2011, If I Can’t Dance presented the performance Some Left by Sung Hwan Kim at Ruyschstraat 4-III in Amsterdam. Some Left unfolded during these two evenings in the intimate setting of an apartment home, where Kim had worked for a full month, together with performers Matthew Infante, Jieun Rim, and musician David Michael DiGregorio (aka dogr).
If I Can’t Dance invited curator Natasha Ginwala to note down her impressions. The artist wishes to accentuate that the text is an interpretation and not a representation of the work. Download her text below. For pictures of the performance, go here.
Sung Hwan Kim is one of five artists commissioned by If I Can’t Dance to make a new work as part of Edition IV – Affect (2010–2012). Sung Hwan Kim is an artist currently based in New York. Previously, he lived and worked in the Netherlands over a period of four years, during which part of the time was spent as a fellow at the Rijksakademie.
Sung Hwan Kim’s research for his new commission takes as a departure point the notion of parting.
The new work is co-commissioned by If I Can’t Dance and Tate Modern, London.
