Sara van der Heide
They’re attempts. It’s about dynamism, not about the absolute.
Sara van der Heide via De Volkskrant, 2010
Sara Sejin Chang’s (Sara van der Heide) (1977, South Korea) drawings, paintings, installations, performances, films and interventions examine patriarchal and western imperialist ideas about linearity, gender, nation state, materiality, spirituality and world making. Often they’re presented as poetic, intimate gestures centralizing an inclusive approach to modernity in which color, form and content subtly interact. She regularly draws from historiography and reflects paradoxically on these artistic processes and interventions as acts of historical repair, healing and belonging.
