MFA Low Residency Speaker Series: Jin-me Yoon
The MFA Low Residency Speaker Series brings distinguished local and international artists to the ECU campus.
Room 245, North Building
The MFA Low Residency Speaker Series brings distinguished local and international artists to the ECU campus. This year, we are happy to announce that these sessions will be open to the public.
The second guest in our series is alumna Jin-me Yoon (BFA '90). Born in Seoul, Korea, Yoon immigrated to Vancouver in 1968 where she now lives and works. Since 1992, she has been teaching in the Visual Art program at the School for the Contemporary Arts, Simon Fraser University.
Since the early 1990s Yoon’s lens based practice in photography, video, and installation has reexamined questions concerning history, place, identity and the body supported by an underlying interest in how these very questions are based on entangled and interdependent relations. Landscapes, particular sites and cities, people and materials provide a departure point for broader issues and geopolitical histories to be identified.
