Artforum: HaeAhn Paul Kwon Kajander

““How Is Where You Are,” a sprawling and seductive show by collaborative duo HaeAhn Paul Kwon Kajander, posed a query with no easy answer: How do we gauge what’s real when the level of deception and subjugation flowing from governments in tandem with digitized corporate power continues to increase? Informed by a Duchampian concern with questioning how and why time and space are regulated and regimented, the artists respond to our techno-capitalist predicament by embracing analog craft. They express this through sampling and staging divergent geographic and cultural references from Scandinavia to South Korea, and from outdated screens to aged plumbing.” —Dan Adler

CBC Arts: What does this fridge door say about me? This artist duo explores how identity is bound up in everyday objects

“By combining their given names, the pair playfully challenge the idea of identity and how it can be created or reshaped. This is also the motivation behind their first solo institutional exhibition, How Is Where You Are, now at Mercer Union, a centre for contemporary art in Toronto.“—Macenzie Rebelo 

Akimbo: HaeAhn Paul Kwon Kajander at Mercer Union, Toronto

“Their commissioned project How Is Where You Are includes amongst its various threads of allusion a number of explicit references to powerful, yet arbitrary standards of quantifying reality that serve as loci of history, imperialism, and wayfinding. The relentless ticking of a metronome provides an (almost) constant soundtrack in the gallery (one that mixes in falling water, environmental noise, bird calls, drum beats, and voices).” —Terence Dick
