Bio
Kacy Jung is a Taiwanese visual artist based in San Francisco. Before she began her journey in art, she had been working in the biomedical science field for many years when she decided to walk out of the lab to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming an artist.
Since then, through photography, photo sculpture, and performance, she continuously investigates the ways in which culture is shaped by capitalism and explores the idea of existentialism within the late capitalism era. The subject often intertwines with the manipulative nature of the capitalist system, the anxiety of being part of the disappearing middle class, and her immigrant experience in the USA.
Kacy’s works have been shown/awarded internationally. She is the acceptant of the Harlan Jackson Diversity Scholarship from the San Francisco Art Institute and Headlands Center for the Arts Affiliate Artist Program. Her works have been shown at Berkeley Art Museum, De Young Museum in California, Hastings College in Nebraska, and multiple galleries and private collections in the USA and Taiwan. She is currently participating in a nine-month-long Affiliate Artist Program at Headlands Center for the Art in Sausalito, CA, USA.
