Sophie Jung (b.1982) lives and works in Basel and London. Using words, gestures and found(ed) objects, her practice addresses representation and its pitfalls, both culturally as a system of disguised and shifting signs and personally as a way to track and record life. She has a deep trust in temporary definitions, to be sculpted while lazing on the apron proscenium, the pre-stage, as a fluid messenger between reception and production of time-lined purport. Recent projects and exhibitions include Äppärät at Ballroom Marfa, Unmittelbare Konsequenzen at Kunsthalle Sankt Gallen, Producing my Credentials at Kunstraum London, Come Fresh Hell or Fresh High Water at Blain | Southern, London and Paramount VS Tantamount at Kunsthalle Basel. Forthcoming projects include a solo exhibition at Kunstmuseum Basel | Gegenwart and a commissioned performance project at JOAN in Los Angeles.
