ARTIST

Jung Yeondoo (b. 1969) has focused his artistic practice primarily on media works including photography, video, performance, theater, and film. His works often merge disparate cultural environments, creating a dynamic interplay between documentary and fiction, individuals and society. By incorporating performance directly or indirectly into his media works, Jung challenges conventional storytelling, offering fresh interpretations of reality through the lens of poetry, music, and theater.

Jung’s major solo exhibitions include MMCA Hyndai Motor Series 2023: Jung Yeondoo One Hundred Years of Travels (National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, 2023), Here and Elsewhere / d’Ici et d’Ailleurs (Space Willing N Dealing, 2020), Here, Now (Perigee Gallery, 2019), Yudachi – Between Day & Night (Komagome SOKO, Tokyo, Japan, 2018), and Yeondoo Jung: Behind the Scenes (Norton Museum of Art, West Palm Beach, USA, 2017). His major group exhibitions include Decoding Korea (Grand Palais Immersif, Paris, France, 2024), Every Island is a Mountain at the 30th Anniversary Exhibition Celebrating the Korean Pavilion at the Venice Art Biennale (Palazzo Malta – Ordine di Malta, Italy, 2024), The Shape of Time: Korean Art after 1989 (Philadelphia Museum of Art, USA, 2023). Jung is currently teaching art at Sungkyunkwan University
