distinguish the limit from the edge

An intergenerational dialogue between two artists, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha and Jimmy Robert, this publication reveals how a connection emerges in the intersection of text and image, between selected work from Cha’s oeuvre and Robert’s practice that shares the formal strategies of the fold. Robert utilises paper as a sculptural material, his hand at times appearing to shape the page. For Cha, the fold is present in compositions that enmesh language through strategies of visual poetry. By overlaying one artist’s work with the other, emphasised by the book’s spiral-bound double spine and reverse foldouts, an intimacy, a shared sensibility, and an encounter with the corporeal is forged.
