Jisoo Chung is a multimedia artist based in Seoul and Los Angeles. Primarily working through video and installation, she traces the sociocultural languages constructed in quotidian objects. The loss of cultural identity that is evoked by linguistic failures, such as mistranslations and misinterpretations within her works, creates humor in a way that reconciles the impaired relationship that language plays in forming a sense of self. Chung’s work has been shown internationally including Ujeongguk, Seoul; Matsutake Gallery, Paris; Frieze Film, Seoul; Human Resources Los Angeles, CA. She is a fellow of MacDowell residency and a grant awardee of the LACE Lightning Fund, Prospect Art Los Angeles, Puffin Foundation, and Seoul Arts and Cultural Council among others. Chung received an MFA at the University of California, Los Angeles, and a BFA at Seoul National University.
Jisoo Chung is a co-director of an art educational studio, Drawwing Cabinet, and a production committee at Gyopo.us.
