CV: MeeNa Park & Sasa[44] is a dual exhibition of works by MeeNa Park and Sasa[44], two artists who have developed methodologies for investigating, collecting, and analyzing objects and information over the course of their careers. Demonstrating a shared critical awareness of the context of production and consumption, original and replica with their first joint exhibition in 2002, MeeNa Park and Sasa[44] continue to work both individually and collaboratively through establishing experimental relational conditions. CV adopts the form of a curriculum vitae to reconstruct two decades of exhibitions held by the artists, both separately and together, and combines them into a single show.

The exhibition is divided into two sections, echoing the format of a CV: “Exhibition Record” and “Bibliography.” In “Exhibition Record,” visitors encounter over 140 pieces that include early and representative works that span the entirety of MeeNa Park and Sasa[44]’s major exhibitions to date, as well as some that have never been shown. Each piece acts as a mediating device between past exhibitions and the present, their categorization and arrangement revealing new meanings by emphasizing different associations between them. In “Bibliography,” 1,259 articles that mention MeeNa Park and/or Sasa[44], clipped from domestic and international newspapers, magazines, and other serial publications published between 2001 and 2022, are collected and reconstituted into a book and a sound installation. Even as CV unpacks the significance of collecting, archiving, and recordkeeping through the work of MeeNa Park and Sasa[44], the exhibition seeks to explore the process of data collection and research in new ways.
