She received her BA and MA in Comparative Literature and an MFA from the University of California, Berkeley. She moved to New York in 1980 working as a writer and video/filmmaker.

The primary mediums in which she worked were: ceramic, performance, artist’s books, concrete poetry, film, video, sculpture, mail art, audio, and slide projections. In many cases her work combined aspects of different media, blurring the boundaries between conventionally distinct categories. It was characteristic of Cha to take the thematic and formal approaches developed in one medium and reinterpret them in another; elements of film and video, for example, find their way into artist’s books and vice versa.”* - Lawrence Rinder (Director of University of California, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive)"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"[Theresa Hak Kyung Cha](http://theresahakkyungcha.com) was een Koreaans-Amerikaanse schrijfster en kunstenares.

Ze werkte hoofdzakelijk in keramiek, performances, kunstenaarsboeken, concrete poëzie, film, video, beeldhouwwerken, mail art, audio en projecties. Vaak bracht haar werk aspecten samen van verschillende media, en deed het zo de grenzen vervagen tussen categorieën die conventioneel gescheiden waren. Typisch voor Cha was dat zij de thematische en formele benaderingen nam die in een medium waren ontwikkeld, en die dan herinterpreteerde in een ander. Zo vinden elementen uit film en video hun weg naar kunstenaarsboeken en vice versa.’* - Lawrence Rinder (Directeur van de University of California, Berkeley Art Museum en Pacific Film Archive)\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"locations":[{"country":"Korea, Democratic People's Republic of","place":"Busan","category":{"en":"Born in","nl":"Geboren in","fr":"Né à"}}]}
