Listen to the full interview on the CKUA website: https://ckua.com//jin-me-yoon-explores-her-understanding/ ... : Untunnelling Vision Jin-me Yoon October 1 - December 12, 2020 at TRUCK Contemporary Art (2009 10 Ave SW) For full details about Untunnelling Vision" and Jin-me Yoon’s bio, visit www.mountainstandardtime.org Fourth in a series exploring the intersections of tourism, militarism and colonialism, "Untunnelling Vision" is the newest video and photo-based installation by Korean-born Canadian artist Jin-me Yoon. The artworks in this exhibition were filmed and photographed in a tunnel at the southwest corner of Calgary’s Ring Road construction site; at Heritage Park, Calgary’s "living history" museum; and on Tsuut’ina Nation land where there remains a ten year old movie set, erected for the Canadian WWI film Passchendaele." Using conventional and 360 degree camera technology, and in the specific contexts of these places each haunted by entangled global relations "Untunneling Vision" asks: What will emerge from the rubble of old narratives that are radically ruptured? This exhibition was co-produced by M:ST Performative Art and TRUCK Contemporary Art. We would like to acknowledge contributions from the Cardinal-Dodginghorse family and our project funders Canada Council for the Arts, BC Arts Council, and the Alberta Culture Anti-Racism Grant.

Korean-born visual artist Jin-me Yoon has always felt indebted to the Indigenous peoples of Canada since emigrating to Vancouver as a child. Her artwork is know...n for its social and historical narratives, and her latest project is no exception. #UntunnellingVision seeks to expand the conversation surrounding the lasting effects of colonialism in #YYC. The exhibition is the result of three years of relationship building between Yoon, M:ST Performative Art, TRUCK Contemporary Art, and Tsuut’ina and Mohkinstsis/Calgary-based artists, knowledge keepers, and historians. A number of Treaty 7 locations are featured in the installation, including Heritage Park, the Military Museums, the Tsuut’ina Rodeo, the Ring Road construction site, and a film set on Tsuut’ina Nation land erected for the 2008 Canadian WWI film Passchendaele. We’ll hear from the artist, Tuesday Oct 27th at 5:45pm MT on Tuesday’s #TrafficJams!
