Playground: Constructing My Identity
Ju YunMarch 9th-September 8, 2024
Ju Yun playfully explores her hybrid Korean-American identity in the studio–her creative playground. In this space, anything goes, as she uses tinsel, pom-poms, hair extensions and her sense of humor to construct fantastical new identities.
Born and raised in South Korea, Ju Yun immigrated to the United States and earned her BFA in painting from the Corcoran College of Art and Design in Washington D.C. Her work has been shown in the US and abroad, including recent solo exhibitions—Evolution of Identity and Hybrid Identity–at the Susquehanna Art Museum in Pennsylvania, the Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington in Virginia, and CICA Museum in South Korea. She lives and teaches studio art to children in Chantilly, Virginia.
