LIST

About: Born in 1974 in Incheon, South Korea, siren eun young jung currently lives and works in Seoul. She studied the visual arts and feminist theory at Ewha Womans University in South Korea and the University of Leeds in UK. She is interested in how the seething desires of anonymous individuals encounter events in the world and become resistance, history, and politics. She believes that, by ceaselessly reexamining feminist-queer methodology, artistic praxis that is simultaneously aesthetic and political is possible.

Her representative works include the “Dongducheon Project” (2007-2009) and the “Yeoseong Gukgeuk Project” (2008-present), and she works across genres including visual art, film, and theatre. She has grown mainly through major exhibitions in Asia such as “Tradition (Un)Realized” (2014), “Ghosts, Spies, Grandmothers: SeMA Biennale Mediacity Seoul” (2014), “Discordant Harmony” (2015, 2016), Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (2015-16), Gwangju Biennale (2016), Taipei Biennial (2017), Shanghai Biennale (2018), Tokyo Performing Arts Meeting in Yokohama (TPAM 2014, 2018), and Serendipity Art Festival (2018). She has received the 2013 Hermes Foundation Art Award, 2015 Sindoh Art Prize, and 2018 Korea Artist Prize and participates in the exhibition in the Korean Pavilion at the 2019 Venice Biennale.
