Doryun Chong was raised in Korea and studied art history, anthropology, and comparative literature at the University of California at Berkeley, where he earned his B.A. and M.A. and completed doctoral studies in art history. He began his curatorial career at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco and has also worked for the Berkeley Art Museum and Korean Pavilion at the Venice Biennale (2001). He has been with the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis since September 2003, where he holds the title of assistant curator of visual arts. At the Walker, Chong has developed artist residency and exhibition projects with a range of artists, including Puerto Rico-based Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla, Thailand-based Rikrkit Tiravanija, and Chicago-based Catherine Sullivan. With Philippe Vergne, he curated “House of Oracles: A Huang Yong Ping Retrospective,” the first mid-career survey of the Paris-based Chinese artist and co-edited the first comprehensive monograph. Currently he is co-curating an international group exhibition titled “Brave New Worlds,” scheduled to open in October 2007. He has also organized several group exhibitions in other sites, including “Time After Time: Asia and Our Moment” (2003) at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco, and the Busan Biennale of International Contemporary Art in South Korea in 2006.
