Jin-me Yoon is a Korean-born Canadian contemporary artist-researcher. Her early photographic work unpacked dominant discourses and stereotypical assumptions about citizenship, nationhood, culture, gender, and race. Expanding her practice to include video and installation, Yoon's ongoing work utilizes a transnational lens to witness and consider local histories, environments, identities and bodies in the context of entangled and interdependent global relations. Her work has been presented in over 180 exhibitions and is held in 17 public collections in Canada and internationally, including the National Art Gallery, Royal Ontario Museum, Vancouver Art Gallery and Seoul Museum of Art.
Née en Corée, Jin-me Yoon est une artiste-chercheuse contemporaine Canadienne. À ses débuts, sa pratique photographique focalisait sur la décortication de discours dominants et de stéréotypes liés à la citoyenneté, la nation, la culture, le genre et l’origine ethnique. Adoptant une optique transnationale, les recherches actuelles de Yoon, dont le champ de pratique a été élargi par l’intégration de la vidéo et de l’installation, sondent et se portent témoin d’histoires, d’environnements, d’identités et de corps sur lesquels influent l’entremêlement et l’interdépendance des relations entre le local et le global. Ses œuvres ont été présentées dans plus de 180 expositions et font partie de 17 collections publiques canadiennes et internationales, y compris les collections du Musée des beaux arts du Canada, du Musée royal de l’Ontario, de la Galerie d’art de Vancouver et du Musée d’art de Séoul.
