Jane Jin Kaisen (born May 28, 1980[1]) is a visual artist and filmmaker based in Copenhagen, Denmark.[2]

Biography

Kaisen was born in South Korea and adopted to Denmark in 1980. She received her MA in Media Art and Art Theory from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and an MFA in Interdisciplinary Studio Art from The University of California Los Angeles. She also participated in The Whitney Independent Study Program. Themes in her work include memory, migration, and translation at the intersection of personal and collective understandings. She works within film, video installation, photography, writing, and performance. She creates alternative modes of storytelling through multi-layered narratives and experimental usage of voice, image, sound, and archive material. Destabilising normative representations and linear conceptions of time and space, her artworks gesture towards alternative genealogies and embodied memories that linger ghostly at the margins of the seeable and sayable. While each work is driven by its own aesthetic and discursive inquiry, together they form a multi-faceted and in-depth inquiry into transnational and gendered histories related to coloniality, modernity, war and borders.

Together with artist and filmmaker Guston Sondin-Kung, Kaisen made the narrative experimental film The Woman, The Orphan, and The Tiger in 2010.[3][4]

In 2011 Jane Jin Kaisen began the multi-channel video installation Reiterations of Dissent, which has been exhibited widely and in multiple formats, among others at Asia Culture Center (KR), Leeum Samsung Museum of Art (KR), Aarhus Kunstbygning (DK), Kunsthallen Brandts (DK), Sonoma County Museum (USA), and The Jeju April 3 Peace Park (KR).

Jane Jin Kasien is the co-founder of the artist unit itinerant with Guston Sondin-Kung and together they have organized and curated a series of art exhibitions and events. She is also co-founder of the artist groups UFOlab (Unidentified Foreign Object Laboratory) with Anna Jin Hwa Borstam, Charlotte Kim Boed, Jette Hye Jin Mortensen and Trine Meesook Gleerup) as well as the artist group Orientity along with Natsue Haji OH, kimura byol-nathalie lemoine, Adel KsK, Raymond Hahn, Naomi K. Long. The artist group Orientity has exhibited together in Kyoto Art Center (2004), in Hong Kong at Fringe Club (2005), in Montreal at Galerie La Centrale (2007), in Grenoble at la Maison Internationale (2008) and in Lille at Maison Folies (2009).

Jane Jin Kaisen has also curated exhibitions and events. She was a curator of the 10th Open International Performance Art Festival[5] in 2009 in Beijing, China, which included performance artists from many different countries.
