BIO:
JUNE PAK (she/her) was born in Seoul, South Korea, and currently lives in Toronto, Canada. Coming from her personal experience of living in Canada as a Korean-Canadian, the hyphenated identity is a central theme in her practice. With her work, she seeks a different means to articulate the visualization of ethnicity. Her multi-disciplinary works have shown in Canada and abroad. She received numerous grants for her projects from Canada Council for the Arts, Ontario Arts Council, and Toronto Arts Council. She was awarded the K.M Hunter Artist Award in Visual Arts (2004) and the Chalmers Arts Fellowship for her research in Korea (2017). She teaches as a part-time lecturer at the University of Toronto (Visual Studies program) and at OCAD University (Cross-Disciplinary Art and Integrated Media Programs).
JUNE PAK 은 대한민국 서울에서 태어나 현재 캐나다 토론토에 거주하고 있습니다. 그의 작업에 중심에는 개인적인 경험에서 비롯된 한국인 -- 캐나다인 으로 연결된 정체성이 (hyphenated identity) 자리를 차지하고 있습니다. 그는 작업을 통해 민족성의 시각화를 표현하는 방법에 대해 계속해서 의문을 제기합니다. 그는 다양한 예술 분야 작품으로 캐나다와 해외에서의 전시외에, 캐나다 예술위원회, 온타리오주 예술위원회 및 토론토 예술위원회로부터 프로젝트 펀딩을 받았습니다. K.M Hunter Artist Award in Visual Arts (2004)와 Chalmers Arts Fellowship (2017)을 수상하기도 했습니다. 현재, 토론토 대학 (시각 연구 과) 와 OCAD 대학 (Cross-Disciplinary Art 및 미디어 프로그램)에서 강사로 가르치고 있습니다.
