From September 6 –November 3, 2024, PARTICIPANT INC presents* *"flipping through pages keeping a record of time": Theresa Hak Kyung Cha & Jimmy Robert, curated by Jacob Korczynski.

“flipping through pages keeping a record of time” proposes an intergenerational dialogue between Theresa Hak Kyung Cha and Jimmy Robert. Sharing a prolific engagement with performance, Super 8 film, and text, this assembly of their work in all three mediums takes the limit of the page as both material and a contested site of meaning.
