Art NOW series presents Jin-me Yoon
Tracing a Set of Relations
12 pm | September 16, 2022
University Recital Hall
Free admission, everyone welcome
Jin-me Yoon is a Korean-born, Vancouver-based artist living and working on the unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples. Since the early 1990s, her lens-based practice has critically examined the construction of self and other in relation to her own direct and inherited history, as well as within broader geopolitical contexts. Yoon’s practice, which stretches over thirty years, has witnessed the presentation of her work in hundreds of solo and group exhibitions across North America, Asia, and Australia, as well as select institutions worldwide. Her work is held in seventeen Canadian and international public collections. This year, she won the prestigious Scotiabank Photography Award, celebrating excellence in Canadian contemporary lens-based art. A Professor of Visual Art at Simon Fraser University, in 2018, Jin-me Yoon was elected as a Fellow into the Royal Society of Canada, a council of Canadian scholars, scientists and artists recognized for their relevant and significant contribution to the larger society.
Yoon's exhibition, Here Elsewhere Other Hauntings, is on view at the Southern Alberta Art Gallery from September 17 to November 20, 2022.
