  • © 2017 SUNHEE JANG All Rights Reserved
    © 2017 SUNHEE JANG All Rights Reserved CONTEMPORARY ART AND THE SEARCH FOR HISTORY —THE EMERGENCE OF THE ARTIST-HISTORIAN— BY SUNHEE JANG DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Art History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2017 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Terri Weissman, Chair Associate Professor David O’Brien Assistant Professor Sandy Prita Meier Associate Professor Kevin Hamilton ABSTRACT Focusing on the concept of the artist-as-historian, this dissertation examines the work of four contemporary artists in a transnational context. In chapter one, I examine the representations of economic inequality and globalization (Allan Sekula, the United States); in chapter two, the racial memory and remnants of colonialism (Santu Mofokeng, South Africa); and in chapter three, the trauma of civil war and subsequent conflicts (Akram Zaatari, Lebanon and Chan- kyong Park, South Korea). My focus is on photographic projects—a photobook (Sekula), a private album (Mofokeng), and archives and films (Zaatari and Park)—that address key issues of underrepresented history at the end of the twentieth century. Chapter one concentrates on how to make sense of the complex structure of Sekula’s Fish Story (1995) and suggests the concept of surface reading as an alternative to traditional, symptomatic reading and posits that some historical truths can be found by closely examining the surface of events or images. In Fish Story, photographs represent the surface of our globe, while the text reveals the narratives that have been complicated beneath that surface. I then analyze how three types of text—caption, description, and essay—interact with images.

    PRESS RELEASE OKI 24-Hour – NZ’s Toughest Dinghy Race next Weekend Auckland (March 3, 2015): The North Shore’s beloved OKI 24-Hour Race begins this Saturday 7 March at 2pm. Olympic-hopefuls and local heroes young and old will be sailing through the night in this iconic event with past winners including Dean Barker, Ray Davies and Peter Blake. “The OKI 24-hr sailing event is New Zealand’s toughest dinghy race and we have teams from all over the country as well as international sailors competing,” says Murrays Bay Sailing Club Commodore, Scott Leith. Andy Maloney and Nick Heiner (Laser World Champ) and Blair Tuke (49er World & Olympic Champion) are heading the entry list for the race with stiff competition expected from the large contingent of local male and female crews. The OKI 24-Hour Race is a competition for laser sailors held on Lake Pupuke and run by Murrays Bay Sailing Club, a club with a rich history of sailors recognised through Round the World races, national championships, America’s Cup regattas and the Olympics. “Last year’s event was held in stunning sailing conditions with over 90 teams spread across the OKI 24-Hour and OKI 6 hour race for Optimists,” says Leith. “The start of the race is quite unique and really exciting with the sailors in a Le Mans-style mad dash down the hill and launching themselves into the boats.” Auckland Wellington Christchurch 8 Antares Place Level 30 480B Moorhouse Avenue Rosedale 0632 Grand Plimmer Tower 8011 2-6 Gilmer Terrace 0611 (09) 477 0500 (03) 366 0876 (04) 569 2940 www.oki.co.nz There’s a major prize of $2,000 available for the sailor/s who do the most laps in the 24-hour timeframe.

Two years has gone fast. My association with Sail America has given me a wonderful connection to the sailing industry. I am richer for my involvement. While I have worked in the industry for 35 years, the last six years with this organization have expanded my perspective, ce- mented collaboration with industry colleagues and helped me become a better leader for West Marine.
