Join exhibiting artist Jin-me Yoon, Kamloops Art Gallery Curator, Charo Neville, and Curator of Contemporary Art, Musée d’art de Joliette, Anne-Marie St-Jean Aubre, online on Tuesday, May 3 at 2:00 pm (PDT) as they discuss the exhibition Here Elsewhere Other Hauntings and Yoon’s expansive artistic practice. 

Here Elsewhere Other Hauntings is the first retrospective dedicated to the work of Jin-me Yoon, a Korean-Canadian artist living in British Columbia. Curated by Anne-Marie St-Jean Aubre, and organized by the Musée d’art de Joliette, Québec, this exhibition brings together nearly 30 years of Yoon’s artistic practice through a thematic journey. 

Jin-me Yoon is a Korean-born, Vancouver-based artist. Since the early 1990s, her lens-based practice has critically examined the construction of self and other in relation to her own direct and inherited history, as well as within broader geopolitical contexts. Unpacking stereotypical assumptions and dominant discourses, Yoon’s work has examined gender and sexuality, culture and ethnicity, citizenship and nationhood. Adopting a wider and wider lens over time, her practice has become a deep investigation into entangled local and global histories existing at specific sites within the context of transnationalism.

Charo Neville is Curator at the Kamloops Art Gallery, where she has developed a program of contemporary, historical and touring exhibitions along with publications since 2011.

Anne-Marie St-Jean Aubre is Curator of Contemporary Art at the Musée d’art de Joliette, Québec. Her curatorial research focuses on issues of identity and culture as explored within contemporary art practices.
