Jinny Yu “Don’t They Ever Stop Migrating?”

Nuova Icona è lieta di annunciare venerdì 4 settembre l’inaugurazione della mostra personale di Jinny Yu “Don’t They Ever Stop Migrating?” presso l’Oratorio di San Ludovico.

Jinny Yu’s site specific installation at the Oratorio di San Ludovico in Venice comprises of a large three-dimensional painting and an audio work.

Reflecting on the recent migration crises in the Mediterranean and Bay of Bengal, her new work Don’t They Ever Stop Migrating? continues on the analysis of one’s complex position in the this globalized world. Using excerpts from Hitchcock’s The Birds as metaphor, the exhibition explores a range of our emotional responses and attitudes as society towards mass migration.

Born in Seoul (Republic of Korea) and based in Ottawa (Canada) and Venice (Italy), Jinny Yu’s work has been shown widely, including exhibitions in Canada, Germany, Japan, Italy, Portugal, South Korea, UK and USA in various museums, public art galleries, artist-run centers, international art festivals, art fairs, and commercial galleries: McMaster Museum of Art (Hamilton), Richmond Art Gallery (Vancouver) Ottawa Art Gallery, Confederation Centre Art Gallery (Charlottetown), Galerie du Nouvel-Ontario (Sudbury), Carleton University Art Gallery (Ottawa), St. Mary’s University Art Gallery (Halifax), Produzentengalerie plan.d. (Düsseldorf), Kyoto Municipal Museum of Art (Kyoto), Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation (Venice), Kunst Doc Art Gallery (Seoul), Conduit Street Gallery at Sotheby's (London), Pulse New York and Miami Beach and ISCP Gallery (New York). She was an artist in residence at the International Studios and Curatorial Program in New York, Nanji Art Studios in Seoul, and The Banff Centre for the Arts. Yu, who is Associate Professor of Painting at the University of Ottawa, was awarded the Mid- Career Artist Award by Council for the Arts in Ottawa in 2013; Laura Ciruls Painting Award from Ontario Arts Foundation in 2012; and was a finalist for the Pulse Prize New York 2011. Her work has been supported by the Canada Council for the Arts, Ontario Arts Council, and le Conseil des Arts et des Lettres du Quebec.
