Open Sessions Artist 2018-20: Jesse Chun when did you decide to become an artist, and why?
.
“I knew that I needed to become an artist, when I realized that I wanted to create my own context and language instead of working to fulfill other people’s direction, agenda or vision. I wanted to make something that wasn’t designed for any purpose or function other than that I felt this strong connection and desire to create it and share it. I wanted to fully believe in what I was putting out in the world.” - Jesse Chun
.
Jesse Chun lives and works in New York. Her work has been shown at the Bronx Museum of the Arts, New York; Queens Museum, New York; and the ArtCenter/SouthFlorida, Miami.
.
Open Sessions is a two year artist program of interdisciplinary events and exhibitions focused on drawing, organized by Rosario Güiraldes and Lisa Sigal.
