Description: "Jinny Yu: At Once surveys artist Jinny Yu's last decade of production, from her exhibition at the Venice Biennale Don't They Ever Stop Migrating? to Inextricably Ours, her recent kaleidoscopically abstract paintings. Using methods as diverse as abstract painting and large-scale installation, Yu's art ponders the implications of mass migration and rapid social change in contemporary society. In Perpetual Guest, Yu interrogates her status as a settler-immigrant; in Hãote, she navigates the relationship between guest and host through a series of black-and-white abstract drawings that resemble thresholds; in Inextricably Ours, Yu breaks from her previous work, using vivid colours, transparency, and distorted forms to continue to question what it means to be a guest and a host. Jinny Yu's work explores the role of painting as a means of trying to understand the world around us. Her work has been shown widely in exhibitions in Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan, Portugal, South Korea, the UK, and the US. Born in Seoul, Yu divides her time between Ottawa, where she teaches at the University of Ottawa, and Berlin."-- Provided by publisher.
