Visiting Artist - Gyun Hur

Gyun Hur is an interdisciplinary artist and educator whose lived experience as a first-generation immigrant largely informs her creative practice and pedagogical approach. Born in Daegu, South Korea, she moved to the U.S. state of Georgia at the age of 13. She currently lives in New York and teaches at the Parsons School of Design, The New School.

Hur has participated in residencies with Stove Works, NARS Foundation, Pratt Fine Arts Center, BRICworkspace, Danspace Project, Ox-Bow, Vermont Studio Center, and Virginia Center for the Creative Arts. She is the recipient of a Bronx Museum AIM Fellowship, Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant, Artadia Award, and the inaugural Hudgens Prize, among others. Her works have been featured in publications including Art in America, Art Papers, Sculpture magazine, Hyperallergic, Cultured magazine, The Cut, and ArtAsiaPacific, among others. Her interest in art-making in public space has led to presentations at the TEDxCentennialWomen; the international street art conference Living Walls, The City Speaks; the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center; The Hong Kong Polytechnic University; The New School, and many others. Hur has contributed to fLoromancy, The Brooklyn Rail, and The Forgetory.

Through iterations of installations, performances, drawings, and writings, Gyun traverses between autobiographical abstraction and figurative storytelling, asking what holds us together; stories, yearnings, rituals, and spirituality.
