Dae Jin Choi was born and raised in Busan and attended university there until he moved to France, where he by chance began to work on art and remained for a long period of time. Infuenced by the sense of liminality gained from his long sojourn abroad and the personal and acute experiences borne of predicament, Choi has been working to combine his formative experiences with contemporary social and political issues that are deployed in myriad ways. In 2007, he graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure d’Arts in Paris-Cergy, and in 2008, he worked as a researcher-artist in the Postgraduate programme of the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts de Lyon. He has held solo exhibitions at Parc Saint Léger in France, Espace Kugler in Geneva, Switzerland, Alternative Space LOOP and Project Space SARUBIA in Seoul, Korea, and has participated in a variety of group exhibitions across Europe and Asia in venues such as Gwangju Museum of Art, Total Museum of Contemporary Art, Nuit Blanche (annual art festival in Paris), Hite Collection, Accademia d’Ungheria (Rome), Musee d’Art Moderne de Saint-Etienne Metropole (France), Musée d’art contemporain de Lyon (France), and the Former Bank of Japan--Hiroshima Branch, as well as artist-in-res- idence programs in Paris, Moscow, Geneva, and Seoul. He currently lives and works in Seoul.
