Jennifer Park is an artist with the architecture background based in New York and Seoul. Park's works range in studies of public engagement to recognize and reconstruct one's everyday experiences through cultural public programs, installation, drawings, and paintings. Park explores common yet fundamental aspects of life, what threads people onto the empathetic understanding of one another beyond one's cultural and social background. They many times are referenced to humanity, philosophy, psychology, and various social phenomena around. Park's projects have been in the light of community-building programs and group exhibitions. 3rd-Thursday, a monthly participatory art show, has shown an attempt to break the wall between the artists and the local community through creative and interactive exchanges. She also co-directed a collaborative workshop, Bibliotheca, with the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing.
Park is a graduate of Rhode Island School of Design in the Department of Architecture in 2016. She practiced in Arts Letters & Numbers in Averill Park, Verona Carpenter Architects in NYC, Face Design & Fabrication in Brooklyn, and Society of Architecture in Seoul. Her serial projects have been exhibited in several group exhibitions, Halfways in the Boomer Gallery, London, the Holy Art in 2020, Interpretations of Dreams Part I-III and Dancing Columns Part I-III at Arts Letters & Numbers, Averill Park, in 2019.
