Quinn In is an artist and curator living and working in Austin, TX. They earned their BFA in Studio Art from the University of Texas at Austin in 2022 and currently run the Exhibits Program at the Asian American Resource Center.
Quinn’s work is driven by a series of hyper-fixated anxieties informed by their intertwined Korean, American, Queer, and Christian identities. They use markers of ancient, traditional, and contemporary Korean art forms, such as 한지 Hanji (traditional mulberry paper making and manipulation) and 보자기Bojagi (ancient quilted textiles), and 만화 Manhwa (Korean print cartoons), as well as painting, photography, and performance art to zoom in on the minutiae of surfaces and explore the ways in which the apparent order of material can become a confused mess under close visual interrogation, just as our own sense of self might fragment and become muddled the closer we look.
Quinn has performed in and exhibited their work in venues such as ArtUs Co. (Austin, TX 2023), Zygote Press (Cleveland, OH 2023), the UMLAUF Sculpture Garden (Austin, TX 2023), the Visual Arts Center (Austin, TX 2023, 2022), Manor House (Austin, TX 2022), FAC2 (Austin, TX 2022), ICOSA Collective (Austin, TX 2022), Of Color TX | Almost Real HQ (Austin, TX 2022), and the Institute of Texan Cultures (San Antonio, TX 2013-2018).
