INFO



Jesse Chun is an artist living and working between Seoul and New York. Chun's immersive poetics in moving image, drawing, sculpture, and installation address language - unfixing the dominant compositions of legibility to invoke alternate semiotics and cosmologies of meaning, time, and the untranslatable. 

Chun's first institutional solo survey exhibition <시, language for new moons> was presented by the Seoul Museum of Art for the 12th Seoul Mediacity Biennale in 2023. Chun's work has been presented internationally at SculptureCenter, New York; The Drawing Center, NY; Queens Museum, NY; Ballroom Marfa, TX (United States); Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto (Canada); the Nam June Paik Art Center (South Korea); Neuer Berliner Kunstverein, Berlin (DE); Whitechapel Gallery, London (UK), among others. Chun was awarded the Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters & Sculptors Grant (US), and other fellowships including the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Studio Residency (MMCA Korea); Art by Translation (Paris); the National Endowment for the Arts fellowship at ISCP (New York), and more. Select reviews of her work have been published in Artforum, the Brooklyn Rail, ArtAsiaPacific, the Korea Times, Artpapers, Artreview, and BOMB. Chun's work is in the collections of Seoul Museum of Art (KR); Museum of Modern Art Library (NY); Smithsonian Institution (DC); Metropolitan Museum of Art Library (NY); and KADIST (FR/US), among others.
