Partners in Art is proud to support Mercer Union’s project Kada/Käydä taking place from 27 September to 29 November, 2025. This project features HaeAhn Paul Kwon Kajander, curated by Theresa Wang.

Composed of Halifax-based artists HaeAhn Woo Kwon and Paul Kajander, HPKK uses collaboration as a means to complicate the notion of individual authorship and to address the social construct of identity. Incorporating image production, found objects, and unconventional approaches to sculpture, their interdisciplinary practice studies the points of contact between similarity and difference, favoring nuanced, site-responsive arrangements that emphasize a viewer’s embodied presence.

Kwon and Kajander’s forthcoming commission considers the subject of borders as spaces of ideological, material, and temporal instability and interchange. Working with the tentative title Kada/Käydä, which combine Korean and Finnish words meaning “to go,” this project aims to push against the perspective of a singular subjectivity, and rather invoke the complexity of navigating a world that organizes the movement of bodies through oppositional forces.
