About
Originally from South Korea, Soyeon Jung is an interdisciplinary media artist currently practicing in Binghamton, New York. Jung’s artistic practice spans experimental video, video installations, and interdisciplinary methods to explore the the dynamics of social structures. Her work critically examines the social hierarchies, gender roles, and the functions of memory from the unique perspective of someone positioned between two cultures. By referencing specific cultural symbols, rituals, and social events, she creates spaces that invite the audience into dialogue, revealing the inherent tensions of navigating different cultural and social contexts.
Jung’s projects encompassing installation, performance, and video have been showcased in exhibitions, screenings, and festivals across the United States, Europe and Asia. Notable screenings at the SPE media Festival, Experimental Film Fest, KLEX Experimental Film/Video Festival in Kuala Lumpur, Simultan Media Festival in Timisoara, CologneOFF Videoart in Germany, among others. Her work has also been exhibitied at the Evanston Art Center in Illinois, Santa Monica Art Studio in Los Angeles, Carnegie Art Center, Hallwalls Contemporary Art Center in Buffalo, and the 7 Days Video Series, which traveled to Western Michigan University and The Bret Llewellyn Art Gallery at Alfred State University, and among others.
Jung received her MFA from the Department of Media Study at the University of New York at Buffalo in 2006 and currently teaches in the Department of Art and Design at Binghamton University.
