A memorial artist's book published in honor of Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, on the first anniversary of her death. Cha was a Korean-American multidisciplinary artist, who studied and worked in the California Bay Area before moving to New York in 1980. She is perhaps best known for her experimental novel Dictée, a genre-defying, multilingual book about 20th century Korean history including Japanese colonization and the Korean War. She also worked in video, conceptual art, mail art, and performance. Cha was tragically murdered in November of 1982, just after Dictée was published, only 31 years old. The present book is a beautiful and intimate gathering of text and visual contributions by her friends, family members, fellow artists, and mentors, honoring her life and work. (Inventory #: 1981)
