Chang Sujung
Nate Heiges welcomes Sujung Chang to talk about her videos, her childhood in Seoul, getting smuggled into an Army base and experimental film. I wasn't able to fit in a conversation about her sculptural work into the show which I regret! But there is so much here, including a 1989 version of "On Top of Spaghetti" and amazing Korean artists from the 70s to the present.
