Kyuri Jeon is a South Korean artist and filmmaker based in New York. Jeon works with video, essay, drawing, and installation to explore time, vision, and its implications for the future. Through the lens of intersectionality, she questions ongoing transnational discussions about identity, feminism, decolonization, and cultural translation.
Jeon’s work has been featured internationally at KINDL – Centre for Contemporary Art in Berlin, MassArt Art Museum in Boston, Mimosa House in London, Konsthall C in Stockholm, Artists’ Moving Image Festival in Glasgow, Festival Film Dokumenter in Yogyakarta, Women Make Waves in Taipei, and DMZ International Documentary Film Festival in Seoul. She is a recipient of a Contemporary Visual Art Award at AHL-T&W Foundation and an award winner at the Asian Shorts Competition at Seoul International Women’s Film Festival. She holds a B.F.A. from Korea National University of Arts and a M.F.A. from the University of Pennsylvania and Seoul National University.
At MacDowell, Jeon developed research and visual materials for new video work using jet-lag as a framework to explore the dissonance between colonial time, hybrid identity, and diasporic experience. She integrated drawing within her time-based practice and expanded her multimedia approach.
