Susan Lee-Chun was born in Seoul, Korea in 1976 and raised in Chicago, Illinois. 
She is a performance-based artist currently living in Miami, working in an interdisciplinary manner. BMoCA is featuring her “Versus” series, an integrated project including photographs, video, and installation, that investigates alter egos: Sue and Sioux. These characters represent two sides of self-the mainstream in battle with the “other.” Fascinated with the power of humor and its capability to grab the attention of a wider audience, Lee-Chun employs a tongue in cheek style in her works. However, the humor is only a fa?ade; beyond the image lies a deeper intensity to the work that explores notions of race and identity politics. Susan Lee-Chun obtained her BFA from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and an MA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She has exhibited and performed nationally and internationally.
