Minnie Yung is a Chinese multidisciplinary visual artist currently living and working on the unceded lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples, also known as Vancouver, BC. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts from Simon Fraser University.
Yung grounds her perceptions of the material world through various media, including painting, video, sculpture, and photography. Her practice explores the translation and circulation of ideas within intricate and diverse cultural contexts. Yung also examines the physicality of artifacts, architectural forms, and texts in her surroundings, aiming to probe memory and the mundane. Additionally, she frequently employs ephemeral materials and relies on documentation forms in her work.
Born in Hong Kong, China, in 1998, Yung immigrated with her family to Canada at the age of seven. Her recent exhibitions include Sweatpea Gallery (2024), Liquidation World (2022), and SFU Audain Gallery (2021).
