Jesse Chun is an artist whose practice addresses language and its politics to uncover new translations toward poetry, opacity, and the untranslatable. Through video, drawing, sculpture, sound, installation, and publication, Chun reauthors found documents, bureaucracies, historic archives, and the hegemonic narrative. Chun's conceptual and material process engages with the often disregarded linguistic traces - such as mistranslation, erasure, redaction, and stutter, as an active passage to legibility and authorship.

Chun's work has been presented internationally at SculptureCenter; Queens Museum; The Drawing Center; BAM; Bronx Museum of the Arts; the Vera List Center for Art and Politics (all in the United States); Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto; Oakville Galleries (Canada); and the Nam June Paik Art Center (South Korea), among others. Recent awards include the Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters & Sculptors Grant (2020); Smack Mellon studio residency (2020); and the National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship at ISCP (2019). Chun's select digital and print publications include WORKBOOK (published by Triple Canopy, 2019); Intangible Heritage (Wendy's Subway x BAM, 2018). Select public collections include the Museum of Modern Art Library; the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Libraries and Special Collections; the Smithsonian Institution; Yale University Library; Asia Art Archive in America; Whitney Museum Library, and more.
