An artist and researcher, Jenyu Wang invests most interests in temporal and spatial relationships. Born in Taiwan and immigrated to the United States in her mid-teens, Jenyu perceives her world in disjunction, instead of continuity- a direction she’s taken in both art and research projects. Jenyu received a dual bachelor degree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in Photography and Art History in 2006. She worked in Modern Taiwanese Art History at University of Maryland, College Park and received an MA in 2010 and her MFA in Photography from University of Illinois at Chicago in 2014. She writes for the art criticism website Chicago Artist Writers and, in April 2014, curated Plural Vision, an exhibition on pluralism in contemporary Asian visual culture, at the Gene Siskel Film Center. Jenyu’s a 2014 Robert Flaherty fellow and currently a resident artist at HATCH Projects in Chicago.
