ARTIST

Yeondoo Jung (b.1969) has focused on media works, including photography and video, in which performance is incorporated either directly or indirectly. Presenting works that merge disparate cultural environments, he has engaged in multidisciplinary practices that cross the boundaries of visual art, performance, theater, and film. His ongoing projects connect individuals from different times and places, bridging documentary and fiction, as well as individuals and society. While adopting the language of poetry, music, and theater, he has explored approaches that interpret reality in novel ways.  
His 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 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), and CRUZAR EL PAXCÍFICO (Arte Contemporáneo de Corea) (Korean Cultural Center in Mexico, Mexico, 2022). JUNG is currently teaching art at Sungkyunkwan University.
