Tuesday, May 3 at 2:00 pm (PDT) 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, came together online on Tuesday, May 3 at 2:00 pm (PDT) to 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.

Jin-me Yoon: The Void and Temporality Thursday, November 29, 2012 Prompted by the exhibition of work by Nathan Coley, artist Jin-me Yoon will examine questions concerning identity, place and subjectivity in an accelerated globalized era in relation to her practice. These include the consequences for reconsidering power and ideas of progress, and the means for slowing down signification and extending temporality. What are the aesthetic, social and political implications of absence and the void as a paradoxical space ‘full’ with presence and necessary doubt? Jin-me Yoon is a Professor of Visual Studies at Simon Fraser University and represented by Catriona Jeffries Gallery.

Areum Kim writes on her participation in Vancouver-based artist Jim-me Yoon's film. By facilitating a dialogue between herself and the films' participants, Yoon demonstrates a model of exchange exemplary of her practice of exploring intergenerational witnessing, interconnected histories, and deconstructing nationhood.

In a previous curatorial project, I had the opportunity to work with Vancouver-based artist Jin-me Yoon in presenting her 2003 video series Unbidden. _The way the artist crawls and scurries through an unspecified landscape in _Unbidden: Underbrush captured my attention and made me question what moved her in this way, along an inhospitable ground marked by jagged rock and scraggly bushes.

Jin-me Yoon's artwork is known for its social and historical narratives. Untunnelling Vision seeks to expand the conversation surrounding the lasting effects of colonialism in Calgary.
