Gyun Hur

Gyun Hur was born in Daegu, Korea. Her interest in communicating in visual and performative languages started at an early age. She came to the United States at the age of thirteen and her experience of relocating into a different culture has impacted artist’s making regarding ethnical and cultural assimilation and categorization. The artist explores geographical and cultural identity through projects incorporating sculpture, installation, video, and performance art.

Gyun has performed and exhibited both locally and nationally. She recently won Pilchuck Glass School Sosin Award and completed the Vermont Residency with Full Fellowship. Gyun also finished NYC residency through Elizabeth’s Foundation for the Arts in Spring 2009.
