Linda Yun


Linda Yun was born a Libra in the fall of 1976, in Memphis, TN. Raised in Massapequa, NY, she received her BS in Sculpture & Photography from NYU, and subsequently attended Tyler School of Art, where she received her MFA in Sculpture. Her work meditates on those moments where the banal gently shifts to a subtle moment of wonder, capturing one's attention, however brief or fleeting. Faced with a culture where anything seems capable of being replicated by industry, Yun chooses to focus on low-fi, humble attempts at creating, all the while retaining a sensibility shaped by formal tendencies.

Yun has been awarded a Pennsylvania Council of the Arts grant in Sculpture, and was a finalist for the 2006 & 2008 PEW Awards. Her work has been included in exhibitions at Sara Meltzer Gallery, Arcadia University, the Galleries at Moore, and Vox Populi, among others. Yun currently works for the Philadelphia Museum of Art as an Assistant Registrar.
