Matthias Kispert’s article A Migrant Worker and a Migrant Artist Walk into a Kelp Farm has been published on the website documenting the social practice art project Song of the Wind, which involved a series of artist residencies on the South Korean island Joyakdo during which participating artists engaged with local communities and migrant workers involved in kelp farming on the island. The text was commissioned by the project’s curator Sunyoung Oh and evaluates the intersections of artist practice, class, labour, migration and ecology as they play out in Song of the Wind and the possible encounters that the project engenders.
