Artist in Residence, Stockholm, 1 June–28 August 2026

Sojung Jun is a Seoul-based artist, born in Busan, working across video, sculpture, sound, performance, and publishing. Her practice reconfigures how time is experienced, not through abstract theory but by transforming the conditions through which bodies move through space and sense the world. Rather than treating time as a linear progression, Jun explores it as something that unfolds through non-linear layers, intervals, and gaps shaped by migration, labour, and historical violence. Her work remains grounded in physical and sensory experience, while opening new ways of understanding temporality, rhythm, and delay within contemporary life. Sound plays a central role, functioning as a medium through which memory, survival, and collective experience persist beyond visual or textual records. At the core of her practice are subjects historically positioned at the margins of visibility and representation, including migrant workers, adoptees, refugees, diasporic communities, and the visually impaired. Rather than simply representing these subjects, Jun reconfigures the architectural conditions of perception itself.

During her residency at IASPIS, Jun will extend research trajectories developed through recent projects such as I Do Nine-Tailed Fox and Syncope. The research focuses on ecofeminism, migration, speed, and practices of connection and patching, with particular attention to women artists and sound-based cultural legacies. Through listening-based research, archival study, and exchanges with local practitioners, the work explores how alternative temporalities that are slow, cyclical, interrupted, or fractured, emerge in relation to ecology, care, and displaced histories.

Jun has presented solo exhibitions at The Showroom, London (2025); Leeum Museum of Art, Seoul (2022); Atelier Hermès, Seoul (2020); SongEun Art and Cultural Foundation, Seoul (2017); and Centre Européen d’Actions Artistiques Contemporaines, Strasbourg (2010). Recent group exhibitions include Performa Biennial, New York (2025); M HKA Museum of Contemporary Art, Antwerp (2025); Sharjah Art Foundation, Sharjah (2023); National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul (2021–2023); Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, Wolfsburg (2022); Kunstmuseum Bern, Bern (2021); and National Museum of Art, Osaka (2022). She is a recipient of the Hermès Foundation Missulsang (2020), the Villa Vassilieff Pernod Ricard Fellowship, Paris (2016), and the Noon Art Prize, Gwangju Biennale (2016). Her works are held in major public collections internationally.
