In the exhibition No other cure none other than words in talking, the Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden is currently showing historical and contemporary female artists whose works are linked by the themes of language, memory and the experience of foreignness. The title of the exhibition is taken from the book Temps Morts by Theresa Hak Kyung Cha (1951, Busan, KOR - 1982, New York, USA).

In her lecture, Dr. Lisa Steib refers to the art that influenced Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's work in the Bay Area of California in the 1970s, especially the performance art that emerged in and around San Francisco during this period. In addition to Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, the lecture will focus on artists such as Terry Fox, Jim Melchert and Tom Marioni.

The lecture will be held in German.
