------------------------------------------------------------------------
YOUNG MIN MOON explores the inherent destabilizing nature of the archive 
and the challenge of representing history. Moon will also discuss the 
work of MIXRICE, an artist collective based in Seoul that since 2002 has 
pursued social interventionist activities and collaborative projects 
with a group of undocumented Asian migrant workers in South Korea. 
Utilizing photographic and media recordings, comics, murals, and texts 
in the form of exhibitions, publications, and the Web, they engage the 
question of the Other within the context of an ostensibly monoethnic 
South Korean culture. Through their critical practice of working with 
members of a transnational community, Mixrice probes the issues of human 
rights and the ethics and roles of the artist in a volatile 
sociopolitical environment.

Young Min Moon is an artist, critic, and educator, who received his MFA 
from California Institute of the Arts and Ed.M from Harvard University. 
His work has been exhibited in the U.S., Canada, and Korea. In addition 
to Incongruent: Contemporary Art from South Korea, a Korean-English 
bilingual book (Hyunsil Cultural Studies, Seoul) that catalogs a 
traveling exhibition that he curated, Moon's essays have appeared in 
numerous publications including Rethinking Marxism and a forthcoming 
anthology of contemporary Asian art, to be published by MIT Press in 
2010. Moon is assistant professor in the Department of Art at University 
of Massachusetts Amherst.
