Artist

Jaeyeon Chung

Born in 1979 in Seoul, Korea, Jaeyeon Chung graduated from the Korea National University of Arts with a B.F.A in fine arts and from Chelsea College of Art and Design in Britain with a M.F.A in fine arts. Chung has worked on projects which attempt to intervene on public spaces through various media of performance, installations, and videos. After a close observation of public spaces, the artist highlights a certain space and employs an artistic methodology of slightly distorting the space’s context and reinterpreting the relationship between an individual and a group. Chung has participated in a number of group exhibitions such as 《Situated Senses: 30cm of Obscurity》 at the Old Police Station in 2012, 《VESSEL 2011》 at KARST in 2011, and 《Supervisions》 at the Korean Cultural Centre in Britain in 2009 and worked on a joint project titled 《Opening Project》 at Arko Art Center in 2013. After a number of international residencies at Austria and Britain, the artist is currently staying and working at the Artist Residency TEMI in Daejeon, Korea.
