Before I met the artist Christine Sun Kim at the Whitney Museum to talk about her new survey show, “All Day All Night,” her team sent me a copy of her two-page “access rider.” It contained a list of terms to avoid: Don’t pathologize her by referring to her as a “deaf artist,” and please don’t call her “inspirational.” It also offered resources on the distinction between small-d deaf (the audiological condition of not hearing) and big-D Deaf (the community that has emerged around the language of American Sign Language, or ASL).
The access document was born of necessity. “A big-time curator from a big-time museum was seeing my work for the first time, and I had to spend 45 minutes of the hourlong studio visit educating this curator about Deaf culture, leaving only 15 minutes to talk about my work,” she told me via her sign language interpreter Beth Staehle. “When this curator left, I was so mad.” At the same time, the document reflects her pragmatism and commitment to advocacy, including at the Whitney Museum itself, where she worked from 2007 to 2014, establishing Deaf-led programs and resources.
A lot has happened since her first days at the Whitney: two master’s degrees, a viral TED Talk, a move to Berlin, a marriage and two children, signing “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the 2020 Super Bowl, and a thriving art career. Now she’s back at the museum, showing paintings, drawings, murals,rich88 videos, sculptures, sound pieces and even ceramics across three floors of the building.
The title of the show was chosen by its curators, Jennie Goldstein from the Whitney Museum, Pavel Pyś from the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis (where the show will travel) and Tom Finkelpearl, former commissioner of cultural affairs for New York City. Kim said the title is apt. “I’m quite obsessive about many things,” she said. “I’m obsessed about how I navigate the world. I’m obsessed about how to get what I need. These are things that are on my mind, being obsessed with them all day, all night.”
