Bio:
Eunsong Kim is an Associate Professor in the Department of English at Arizona State University. Her practice spans: poetry, translation, visual culture and critical race & ethnic studies. She is the author of gospel of regicide, published by Noemi Press in 2017, and with Sung Gi Kim she translated Kim Eon Hee’s poetic text Have You Been Feeling Blue These Days? published in 2019. Her forthcoming academic monograph, The Politics of Collecting: Property & Race in Aesthetic Formation (Duke University Press) materializes the histories of immaterialism by examining the rise of US museums, avant-garde forms, digitization, and neoliberal aesthetics, to consider how race and property become foundational to modern artistic institutions. In 2021 she co-founded offshoot, an arts space for transnational activist conversations.
