SUMMARY:Jane Jin Kaisen: Burial of This Order
DESCRIPTION:Jane Jin Kaisen\n\nBurial of This Order\n\nSeptember 3\, 2026 -
  January 10\, 2027\n\nMorris & Ann Dancyger Observatory Gallery\n\nBurial o
 f This Order brings together three works by Jane Jin Kaisen that underscore
  her ongoing interest in ritual\, collectivity\, capitalist critique\, and 
 the possibilities of social and political transgressions.\n\nThe exhibition
  centres on Kaisen’s titular video installation (2022)\, through which th
 e audience is invited to follow a funerary procession gathered to ceremonio
 usly bury a world order built upon hierarchy and division. The social actor
 s called on to perform this duty\, including artists\, poets and activists\
 , transgress traditional ceremonial practices indicating that this ritualiz
 ed enactment is a funeral without grievers\, assembled to dismantle unlivab
 le structures\, rather than lament current conditions. The exhibition’s c
 entral work is accompanied by Sorrow Waters This Land (2024) and Dokkaebi (
 2024). The former focuses on the setting for the procession – a derelict 
 resort on Jeju Island that was abandoned following the IMF financial crisis
  of the 1990s\, now persisting as a crumbling ruin of capitalism. The latte
 r features powerful Dokkaebi deities from Korean folklore\, unpredictable t
 ricksters who dance suggestively through the space\, haunting or perhaps co
 mpelling the procession.\n\nThe exhibition’s focal film builds towards a 
 moment of revolutionary fervour when the procession refuses to complete the
 ir task and instead overthrows and dismantles prevailing power structures s
 o that other narratives and realities can be imagined into being. Articulat
 ing their desires for transformation and disruption by way of collective em
 ergence and rebirth\, the mourners forsake the ritual burial but hold to th
 eir promise of elapsing this world order.\n\nCurated by Noa Bronstein.\n\nh
