Artists in residence

Each year, the Cité internationale des arts welcomes more than 1,000 artists from around the world, offering them a space for creation, research, and exchange in Paris, in the Marais and Montmartre districts. Open to all artistic disciplines—visual arts, music, literature, film, design and architecture, performing arts, and curating—it enables artists to develop their projects in an environment that fosters experimentation and meaningful connections.

JY Won

Year/s of residence : 2025, ADAGP

Visual arts

Born in 1990 in Daejeon, South Korea, Won Jy graduated from Daejeon Arts High School in 2008. He then completed his military service in South Korea between 2009 and 2011, before gaining experience on the streets of various cities between South Korea and France. He graduated from the École supérieure des beaux-arts de Nîmes (Esban) in 2023, and currently lives and works in Nîmes.

Using mainly natural and modest materials, such as water, river stones, concrete demolition debris and dead pigeons, Won Jy seeks to question the choice of objects of hospitality and the moment of care. He then reflects on his gestures of intervention on these objects, as well as their shaping in the context of exhibitions.

His most recent major events took place in non-institutional locations, far from the contemporary art scene and awaiting demolition, such as the cellar of the former social services building of the Gard département in 2022 and the former Muslim funeral parlour in the Pissevin district of Nîmes in 2023.

Won jy (South Korea) is laureat of the 2024 “ADAGP x Cité internationale des arts” programme.
