Frequencies of Tradition<\/em> centers on tradition as a space of contestation. Tradition is a significant part of daily lives in Asia, connecting generations and reverberating as a living archive of cultures across time. Tradition also retains and upholds patriarchy, authoritarianism, and obsolete customs. Through collective memories, spirituality, archival imagination, technological engagements, and alternative modes of empowerment, the works in the exhibition\u2013predominantly video installations and photography\u2013upend conventional notions of tradition and examine how regional modernization entangles with the emergence of tradition and where the violence of social conventions, nationalism, and the impact of such histories on the everyday manifest. Together, the works allow for a critical reflection on modernization in East Asia and where an expansion of our understanding of the regional modern takes place.<\/p>\n Frequencies of Tradition<\/em> at KADIST San Francisco is adapted from its large-scale iterations at the Guangdong Times Museum, Guangzhou, China (2019-2020) and Incheon Art Platform (2021-2022) and is the culmination of an eponymous series of exhibitions and programs initiated by KADIST in 2018 and curated by Hyunjin Kim, KADIST\u2019s former Lead Regional Curator for Asia (2017-2020).<\/p>\n Comprising seminars, commissions of new works, and exhibitions across Asia, Frequencies of Tradition<\/em> is a three-year series as part of KADIST\u2019s international programs devoted to drawing connections between different localities by addressing shared issues, often of global relevance, in close collaboration with partner institutions, researchers, and artists in the region.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Photo : Installation view, Frequencies of Tradition<\/em>, curated by Hyunjin Kim at KADIST San Francisco, April 2 to July 16, 2022.
