About

BFA (UBC), MFA (Parsons)

Jade Yumang focuses on the concept of queer form and its aesthetics primarily through sculpture, installation, and performance as a way to see how the body resists or submits through materiality and technique vis-à-vis obsessive acts, strict parameters, repetition, and forms of discipline. This direction is guided through the tracing and summoning of historical amnesia, by means of myths, historiography, scandal trials, obscenity laws, and filmic tropes.

Selected solo exhibitions include CP Projects Space, New York, NY (2017); Eastern Edge Gallery, St. John’s, NL (2015); Box13 Artspace, Houston, TX (2015); the Leslie Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art, New York, NY (2014); Hunter College/Times Square Gallery, New York, NY (2011); Malaspina Printmakers Gallery, Vancouver, BC (2009).
